Green, with Polka Dots: Dual Widescreen Wallpaper

With all the white and gray we've had lately, it was nice to go back a few months in the archives, and work on something green.

The 3840x1200-size version for dual widescreen wallpapers is here. (because blogger somehow can't handle the size)

Quiet Frost

Nothing special, I just like this tree.

High Desert Sunset: Dual Widescreen Wallpaper

A nearly monochrome sunset photo... Don't see too many of those, do you?  Not sure why I like this one, but I do. 

If you want the download, you have to go here.   Blogger doesn't support pictures this large (3840x1200).

American Savannah

I don't know why this makes me think of the African Savannah-- I think maybe the tree has something to do with it. (which you might recognize from "Milky Way Tree")

 I notice that the colors are so strong they're really pushing my monitors capabilities.  So if the colors look bad to you, it may be a difference in our monitors' abilities.  Let me know, tho.  No point putting stuff out that nobody but me can see!

Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability at Dawn: Dual Widescreen Wallpaper

Working on this soft pastel taken at City of Rocks Idaho, I noticed the beautiful example of a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the clouds.  For you non-geeks, its the "breaking waves" formation at the center of the frame.  Check it out at

Ahhh, Science!  It even happens to artists!

Edit:  Blogspot got me again!  If you want the full-size 3840x1200 version, get it here:

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Kodachrome Harvest

A Paul Simon moment around harvest time.  The fall sun saturates the colors in a way that practically forces me to hum "Kodachrome" to myself as I look around.  And Oh, look here--I got a Nikon camera; I love to take photographs...

Milky Way Tree

Wide awake because the huge thunderstorm that just went through ripped a grommet off the tent, and I half soaked myself trying to fix it (without actually leaving my sleeping bag)  and now what do I see but clear clear sky.  After months of Idaho wildfire smoke.  Ahhhh... heaven.
