September 2011 Sunflower Free Desktop Wallpaper Calendar

Here in the northern Colorado Rocky Mountains the evenings are turning cool and crisp. The cicadas sing at night, the hummingbirds are leaving, and the chokecherry bushes are turning a burnt orange. And also the wild sunflowers are at their peak. Nature chooses brilliant colors to decorate the mountain hillsides in yellow daisies, orange leaves, and purple sage. I believe autumn has always been my favorite season.

I hope you enjoy your new desktop wallpaper calendar for September 2011 and if you like this cheery sunflower it is also available as an 11x14 fine art photograph.

Sea Birds on the California Pacific Coast

Being from Colorado and over a thousand miles from any ocean, I am always delighted to watch the coastal sea birds. We do have seagulls in Colorado, although we refer to them as terns, and the occasional cormorant ventures to our large lakes too. But watching these birds next to the turbulent roaring Pacific ocean as it crashes and sprays water over jagged rocks is an entirely different experience. I hope that I brought that wonderful day to you with my photography.

Priest Parking

Walking around Bodega, California you can see some very interesting things. The turn of the century architecture is stunning, but I found intriguing a simple little sign proclaiming "Priest Parking" on a gray weathered fence. Maybe it was the evidence of no one ever parking there that I found amusing or maybe it was just that I never thought of priests as having assigned parking spots in such a rural location. Either way, I hope you like it.

California Dreaming on the Coast

It was the rainiest summer week anyone could remember on our California visit in early June. Our hosts suggested that we drive to the coast and we might be lucky and drive out of the rain. I understand how the Rocky Mountains affect our Colorado weather, but I had no knowledge of Pacific coastal weather. But our friends were absolutely correct. We arrived at the coast, and the clouds and rain were forgotten behind us.

These California coast nature landscape photographs feature the Pacific ocean's waves crashing into the rocky coastline with that beautiful sunny blue California sky and the dramatic distant rain clouds in the background. All three photos were taken at Bodega Bay Head, California. And as always, I appreciate your comments. Tell me which one is your favorite and why you like it. Cheers!
