The December 2011 Free Desktop Wallpaper is now available for download. I love the ocean, and one of the most amazing places for seascape photography is the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. Rocks, water, light, and clouds are all part of the canvas that makes this part of the world truly special.

As always, come closer to nature in the Nova Scotia.

The September 2011 Free Desktop Wallpaper is now available for download. On my recent trip to Nova Scotia, I visited Kejimkujik National Park with the specific intent of visiting a section containing an old growth forest. I love these types of places, especially since they are so rare in North America. On a rainy, foggy day, I returned once again and tried to capture how I felt as I wandered like a child in this amazing location .

As always, come closer to nature in Nova Scotia, Canada.

The August 2011 Free Desktop Wallpaper is now available for download. Esopus Meadows Lighthouse, nicknamed “Maid of the Meadows” is a lighthouse on the Hudson River near Esopus, New York. The lighthouse stands on the west side of the channel, in the river, its granite foundation built atop piles that have been driven into the riverbed, and is accessible only by boat. The lighthouse was completed in 1871 and is the last wooden lighthouse in existence on the Hudson and it was lighted in 1872.

As always, come closer to nature in the Hudson Valley.

The June 2011 Free Desktop Wallpaper is now available for download. Apologies for being super late, but I have been out of town most of the past three weeks, so catching up to everything here on the blog. Many of the trails leading to the highest mountains in the Adirondacks, and New York State begin at Heart Lake, and I will be visiting again this fall when I plan on climbing Mt Marcy. summit 5,300 ft.

As always, come closer to nature in the Adirondacks.

The April 2011 Free Desktop Wallpaper is now available for download. Finding unique angles and perspectives of common subjects is something I work on constantly, and the results can be worth the patience and effort involved. I positioned my tripod almost flat on the ground, and waited for the sun to rise and back light these beautiful Spring flowers. Nothing like Spring to invigorate the senses, and remind us of the gift of life we all enjoy each and every every moment of our lives.

As always, come closer to nature in the Hudson Valley.
