February 2011 Free Desktop Wallpaper Calendar

Desktop wallpaper calendar for 02-11 red amaryllis flower

For the February 2011 wallpaper calendar I chose a harbinger of spring. I had decided to do flowers for the calendar this year and had to ponder what flower blooms in February? Then I remembered that the amaryllis bulbs in my home bloom in February. I liked that this perfect crimson flower had a tiny vein of white. It gave it a personality all its own in my mind.

You might have noticed that I have expanded the number of monitor sizes available and have also offered one for an iPhone4. I hope you find the perfect version for your use and enjoy this splash of red in the month of love.

Anti Valentine Note Card - Lust

humorous anti Valentine's Day pair of TWO note cards done in gothic black and white of Lust's gravestoneValentine's Day is nearing. For some it is a day to contemplate past relationships. Hopefully those trysts have turned into friendships. Lighten the moment and send that "special" friend a little poke of fun. You know who it is. Go on. You will laugh together at your misstep and put some humor in the day. After all, as Charlie Chaplin said, "A day without laughter is a day wasted."

Framed Red Flower Photo - Tropical Beauty

It was a warm summer day when I took this photograph of a coral red hibiscus. The bushy plant with dark waxy leaves was peppered with beautiful blossoms that day. The flowers only last for a day before they shrivel and drop, but their short life is brilliant. My hibiscus lives inside now as it would not survive the bitter cold Colorado winter. It musters up one little pale blossom occasionally. But I know that this summer it will burst forth in all its beauty once again.

Redstone Winter - Colorado Landscape Photography

A winter stand of cottonwood trees with their white bark showing prominently provides a contrast against the sandstone cliff.The winter wind is sharp today but the sun is bright as I walk down the dusty dry dirt road. It is unusual to be so dry in January. The warm sun is welcome none the less and takes the sting out of the cold air. The white bare trunks of the cottonwood trees catch my attention as they stand out prominently against the red sandstone cliff that gives this valley its name, Redstone Canyon. My home.

A Healthy Start with a Bowl of Berries

A bowl of fresh red raspberries and blueberries splashed with milk makes a healthy breakfast still life.Last year I lost 17 pounds. I gained a couple back over the holidays but I am getting back to better habits again. The Christmas cookies are gone! I have no doubt I will lose the last few pounds and be back to the weight I was in my twenties. No kidding! You may ask how I am doing this. The easiest answer is quality homemade food; no sugar, no white flour, no food in a box. It is satisfying, nourishing and weight reducing. And I could not feel more energetic. If you would like to know more details on how you can lose those excess holiday pounds I highly recommend the "South Beach Diet." It is a healthy plan and has worked for me. Now I'm going to make this luscious bowl of berries disappear!
