Better late than never – the September desktop background image is here! This month’s desktop is of Tijeras Peak reflecting in Lower Sand Creek Lake in the the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Pueblo, CO. My friend Fred asked me if I wanted to go camping this weekend – while the hike nearly killed me, the photos made it worth it!

The July desktop background image is here! This month’s desktop is of rushing water in Horseshoe Park at Rocky Mountain National Park. Horseshoe Park is the site of some consequence in July. On July 15, 1982 the Lawn Lake moraine broke sending 29 million gallons of water into the valley below, creating an epic alluvial fan, killing two park campers, and leaving the nearby town of Estes Park six feet under water. With the historic levels of snow that we have received this year, we all hope a travesty of this nature doesn’t repeat itself.

The June desktop background image is here. This month’s desktop is of El Dorado Canyon State Park. El Dorado is a busy park located just south of Boulder in the foothills. If you get there early though, you might get lucky with a foggy morning and some wonderful solitude. Click on your monitor resolution below to view/save the image to your local computer. Enjoy!

The May desktop background image is here. This month’s desktop is of Morraine Park in Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park, CO.

The April desktop background image is finally here. In spring, the weather in Colorado is anything but predictable. Saturday set a record high with a temperature of 84 degrees – and it snowed on Sunday! I guess it’s a good thing I got out on Saturday and got a great picture of Longs Peak. Longs Peak is located about an hour north of Boulder, CO and at an incredible 14,259 feet tall, it is one of the fabled “fourteeners”.

The March desktop background image is here. What can I say – I can’t get enough of Rocky Mountain National Park! Located just outside of Estes Park, CO, RMNP is one of my favorite destinations in all of Colorado. This particular image includes Ypsilon Mountain (left) and Fairchild Mountain (right) – both of which are an amazing 13,400+ feet above sea level.

The February desktop background image is here. An early morning trip to Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park, CO is the February desktop background. I was going to try to do only black & white images in 2011 but a shot like this deserves to be used. Click on your monitor resolution below to view/save the image to your local computer. Enjoy!
