Another example of a desktop background...


Taken from the day's news articles, resized, enhanced, and made into a theme.

It shows spring flowers in an alpine park, and if you've ever been to such a place, where these will seemingly sprout almost out of the receding snowpack, you will never forget it. I've counted 17 different varieties in the same patch of flowers up in the hills beyond Pemberton, north of Whistler, B.C. on a summer's day. It was July, I think, but there it was still Spring, because the several feet of the previous winter's snows were still melting, and these flowers were blooming within just a few feet of the edges of the nearest snow patch. It's a beautiful and an unusual sight, and these flowers are not like any you'll find in the lower parts of the countryside. The alpine is a world of its own, and lovely.
