As a little bonus for my friends and followers every month I provide a free image for use as your desktop background wallpaper on your computer, mobile phone, or tablet. Each beautiful photo is a picture that I have created and it always includes a calendar overlay for the month. I know that I’m always looking for a calendar and having one on my desktop or phone wallpaper is very convenient!
NOTE – You can purchase prints for any of the previous months calendar images:
This months calendar image features a glowing halo around the sun on an icy cold day in winter. Halos are created by light interacting with ice crystals in the atmosphere and can form at any time of year but are much more common on very cold days in the winter. This image was made on the prairies south and east of the Calgary city limits on a beautiful winter day.
This months calendar image features a beautiful pink sky sunset over the sand and lava trails at the south end of Kamaole III beach in Kihei on the island of Maui. As we slip into the colder months here at home I thought it would be nice to share the view from paradise to warm you up!
This months calendar image features a Pump Jack working an oil well on the prairies to the west of Calgary at Sunrise. The sun had just popped up above the horizon and created a beautiful silhouette of the pump against the cloudy landscape.
This months calendar image comes from a recent hike to Larch Valley in Banff National Park to see the Larch trees turn yellow before their needles fall off. Although a conifer, the larch is a deciduous tree and loses its needles in the fall and larch valley is an amazing place to see a valley full of the trees all changing color at the same time.
This months calendar image comes from a recent hike near the Mesa Butte Recreation Area in south Kananaskis. The hazy skies were a result of the forest fire smoke that had drifted across the province from major fires in Washington State. Although the smoke was far from the worst it had been, it was still heavy enough to cause the distant mountains to disappear in the haze.
