January 2015 Desktop Calendar

I spent the holidays visiting family in Cincinnati, Ohio and got some nice shots of mosses peaking through the cracks in my mom's back patio. I took two photos that I thought would make a nice January calendar. 

The moss shown in the photos doesn't look like Bryum argenteum (the silver sidewalk moss). I saw some of that nearby and the leaves were smaller and more closely appressed at the top. No moss books with me here, so a final identification may have to wait until I am back in California. 

 Happy New Year!




1 - Single click on the image to open it up in a new window. (If you use the image directly from the blog post you will lose a lot of resolution.)

2 - Right-click (or ctrl-click) on the image, and chose the option that says, "Set as Desktop Background" or "Use Image as Desktop Picture" or "Save Image As...". The wording may vary. (If saving the image to your computer is the only option, then locate it on your computer and choose the "Set as Desktop Background" or "Use Image as Desktop Picture" option from there.)

3 - If the image does not fit your desktop neatly, you may have to adjust the image (Mac: System Preferences - Desktop and Screen Saver - Desktop; Windows: Control Panel - Display - Desktop) and choose "Fill screen" as the display mode of your background image.
