September Desktop Image

Every month or so I change my desktop image to a photograph I've taken and I thought it would be fun to share these images in my blog so that you can download them for your desktop as well! Every month I'll try to post a new image that is suitable for displaying at desktop size and resolution. Click on an image to download a copy for your desktop.

Yesterday, as Alex and I were out and about around ISU, we stopped in the instrument repair shop on campus where Kelly would give his French Horn a little TLC. Well, Kelly was also dogsitting for some friends who recently purchased a Puggle, which is a cross breed between a Pug and a Beagle. The pup was so cute that I just had to take a picture! ;-) Her head looks larger than life in this picture, she's really just a cute and tiny thing.




A few days ago I had walked by this tree but didn't have my camera with me, so I knew that I had to find it again the next time I had my camera. I was so struck by the bark and the way it seemed to flake off of the tree with so much color and texture. I'm not sure what kind of tree it is, but it had characteristics similar to birch- a light colored bark, thin trunk, and grew in small groupings. Anyone care to take a guess at what this tree might be?
