September 2022 Calendar
September’s desktop calendar
The month of fall is officially here! We have had our summer fun, now as we get back fully into a routine, we say goodbye to the carefree days of summer. The next thing you know everything will be pumpkin flavored and pumpkin decor.
Around here, I just want to keep your computer desktop beautiful for you each and every month! This month we have a beautiful gymnocalycium cactus flower. This cactus has never bloomed for me before and recently I walked through the door and there was this flower that was about to bloom! I was so excited and ran back into the house yelling for everyone to come and see.
I hope that this little bloom will light up your day, just like it did mine when I first saw it!

August 2022 Calendar
August desktop calendar
"Breathe the sweetness that hovers in August."
―Denise Levertov
The prickly pear cactus and its blooms have shown up here a couple of times and I have to tell you that I am just awestruck that each one of these different prickly pear cacti can have a different flower. Some have yellow flowers, others have yellow with a red center and another type of prickly pear can have just red flowers. Nature is AMAZING! This image was photographed this spring at the Botanical Garden here in Phoenix. At that time there were blooms everywhere and the desert was bursting with transformation. So, today I present to you Fire Ducky.
As always, I hope that this cactus bloom will bring a smile to your face and brighten every day!

July 2022 Calendar
Your desktop calendar for July 2022
Yay, it is summer!!! July is time for popsicles, BBQs, and, my favorite, fireworks!! Fire Blossom, from the series, Pointed Elegance, is a photograph of a barrel cactus bloom. The colors of this barrel cactus bloom make me think of sitting out under the stars on the Fourth of July. This image has me imagining the fireworks crackling overhead, watching one small trail of a firework shooting up until it bursts into an explosion of color!
If you like this image, you really should check out the series, there are even more images to love!
Enjoy your summer and the summertime vibes from this barrel cactus bloom!

June 2022 Calendar
The June desktop calendar has arrived!
June is here and the June wallpaper is full of colorful spring cacti! These purple prickly pear, Opuntia macrocentra, are one of my favorite cactus because the pads are full of greens and purples, and the flowers are soft yellow with the lower parts of the flower a bold red. There is just color everywhere, no way to go wrong with that! This type of cactus grows in specific areas such as Arizona, New Mexico, Southwestern parts of Texas, and Northwestern parts of Mexico, so if you live around there keep an eye out for these beauties in the spring when they are full of blooms!
Happy June!

April Calendar
The April calendar has arrived!
At the beginning of March, I got an annual pass to the Phoenix Botanical Garden. Wondering around in the garden I stumbled upon the succulent section and learned about the wide variety, twenty different kinds according to google, of aloe vera there are! Many of the aloes are in bloom right now and I find it fascinating how their blooms are different in shape and color. I discovered my love for the aloe rudikoppe, which was also called a Little Red Ridinghood aloe, and am now on the lookout for one for my yard!
May these blooms bring you joy throughout April!
