Storming Through Valley Forge

Out for a walk in Valley Forge NP with my mom, we didn't get twenty steps from the car before this squall opened on us.  You can see from the lighting on the grass throughout the photo how the rain came in heavy waves.  The areas of lighter grass are also areas of lighter rain activity!  How cool is that?  Thankfully, my mom carries a huge umbrella and was able to shelter us both while I made this photo.  If she had a standard or compact umbrella she would have gotten totally soaked.  I'm willing to bet everyone is tired of the rain photos on this blog, but hang in there everybody, the sun will probably come out tomorrow.
It's the first Monday of the month and that means it's also wallpaper day! The above photograph can be downloaded here, sized 2530x1600 so it'll fit anything you want it to, enjoy.  I'm willing to bet everyone is tired of the rain photos on this blog, but hang in there everybody, the sun will probably come out tomorrow.

Steady Thursday & Free iPhone Wallpapers

I think Thursday is going to be my post day.  It's always a struggle to produce content for the blog that meets my standards for artistic endeavours.  Sometimes the pictures happen easily, but the stories have trouble finding words, other times it's the opposite.  But I usually have something to share on Thursdays.  Maybe it's circadian.  Todays offering is in honour of the Fourth of July celebrations this week in the States.  I've created a set of 18 iPhone wallpapers of fireworks.  You get them all for the low cost of one mouse click on this link.  They are sized for the iPhone 4 screen specs but will display on any of the iPhone or iPod Touch models.  To install them Mac OS omputer unzip the file, drag the folder to iPhoto, sync your iPhone/iPod Touch, then, from your iOS device select an image and set it to the wallpaper.  Installing these from a Windows computer begins by pressing CTRL-ALT-Delete, and proceed from there.
Enjoy the prefestival fireworks!
