Wallpaper for winter 2008-2009

The faces of friends and loved ones stay with us, enshrined in memory and enriched with warm memories. So there are never any people in this annual collection of photos to use as your computer wallpaper. Change to a new view when you change your mind, your mood, your needs, or the season, and enjoy this virtual window.

These are all original and homemade, free from any virus or sociological attitude. They are unretouched, non-Photoshopped, and endowed only with wonder. You are welcome to use them for your own enjoyment. For the last time, I include both a wide-screen version and some photos sized for more squarish older computer monitors, though both will probably work fine for you. The fish, perhaps my favorite, are in the Portland Zoo.

Because of the profusion of flowers in my new part of the world, there is also an online extra -- an entire extra set of floral and scenic wallpaper photos, accessible at www.stellastarr.net/wallflowers.html.

As always, click on a small picture to get the bigger version, and you can right-click
and select "Set as Wallpaper" to make it your own view for as long as you like.
