This month there are two choices for Picture Michigan desktop Wallpaper.
Traditionally I would make July wallpaper from a fireworks scene. That is the case again this month, but with the option of another choice to split the time or simply choosing one over the other.
The second choice is an abstraction of the Presque Isle Light meat Alpena.

This is almost the universal symbol of spring.
The Monarch Butterfly.
This is Lake Michigan, a scene that always inspires. It is nothing short of being Michigan, especially in Muskegon.
The south breakwater light is the sentinel during a calm April sunset.
The month of March can offer any of the four seasons on any given day. That is, depending where you may find yourself in Michigan.
This visit to the Grand Haven Pier was a memorable one. I’ve walked this pier hundreds of times in all the seasons. The natural decorations were breathtaking! Muscular ice wrapped the entire structure like it was science fiction!
Our scene for February 2018 takes us to the gently wintered White River Light Station on the shore Lake Michigan.
Happy New Year!
Our adventure continues somewhere in the Upper Peninsula. We may be lost, but I’m pretty sure we’re intentionally off the beaten path, enjoying the scenes painted with a general snowfall.
The setting here is Downtown Grand Rapids, adorned in Christmas regalia. And it goes without saying, it is a popular spot for ice skating!
Leonardo da Vinci started the project over 500 years ago. The commissioned statue would have stood in Milan Italy upon its completion.
I have always called this piece the “da Vinci Horse.” Incorrectly so. It is one of two original casts made in 1999, this one being “The American Horse,” at the Frederick Meijer Garden and Sculpture Park, near Grand Rapids. The first of the original casts is in Milan, called, “The Horse.”
Other names include Leonardo’s Horse, Gran Cavallo, and Il Cavallo.
Since these 1999 installations, other duplications with varying names have emerged.
This picture here, of the American Horse, is something of a work in progress. It seems fitting. Leonard’s vision took more than five centuries to complete.

Waves churn to act as the battering ram, the Muskegon South Breakwater Light stands tall!
