We trekked it back home from Colorado yesterday evening, tired from the road, and ready for rest! The week was spent mostly with family, yet the weather cooperated enough that on our hikes and off-road drives through the Rio Grande National Forest I could walk away with some nice images. As evidenced in a previous post, the water was flowing nicely, and the cool mountain lakes were full. I’ll have more images to post later, including another natural light Field Lighting post, but I thought I would capitalize on a suggestion made not too long ago. The images seen in this post are freely available to you as backgrounds for your mobile phone and Internet devices. Just click on the links for your respective device(s), and display away!

The Aspens were quaking beautifully the past week, and photographers cannot get enough of these trees. They offer such wonderful patters in nature, and they stand out so distinguishably against the evergreens. So much so that you notice that they often survive forest fires, standing polished against years-old burned firs. They are the everlasting shaman of the forests, and their high-reaching canopy shifts brilliantly against dark greens and cobalt blues.

I know not all of you have an iPhone or iPad, but the images are all JPEG, and if you can put them on your (insert other brand of mobile device here), then you can more than likely set them as your background or lock screen. Even for the non-iPhone 4 users, you can download them and set one (if you like) as a lock screen background. The iPad backgrounds are formatted as square 1,024 X 1,024 images so they’ll cooperate with your frequent turning of the device.

I hope you enjoy the Aspen Tree wallpapers, and there will be more in the future. I’m finishing up design work on a new Wyman Meinzer/Henry Chappell book, and afterwards, I’ll have a host of posts to throw up there, including a few new reviews and Field Lighting posts.
