Honestly, I've downloaded DOZENS of photos from the various photo contests, have them all saved in the same folder, and set my computer to use those photos as my background/wallpaper. I also set it so that it changes the photo about every 10 minutes.

I would have a Desktop photo of the BWCA except for this picture from 2019 on the Yellowstone River just below Gardner. My wife's first Brown trout while fly fishing!

I had this one for a while. Sunrise on Birch
Then I changed to Yosemite Nevada Falls
I'll probably switch back to a BWCA photo from last trip as we get closer to the next trip's departure day. 223 days to go!

I believe so. Or the Blueberry Portage. Sorry, but I can't remember exactly. I've done the Granite River route at least 15 times, so one would assume I'd remember... but I'm getting old.

Hiking that 5 miles of shelf has been hands down in the top 3 of all backpacking I have done. Any glance of the scenery was just a wallop of a view, no matter what direction. I would stop and look for a second, soaking it all in, and then just start laughing to myself at the amount of beauty in front of me. It was absurd.
Let me know if you need an assistant the next time you head out to get paid.

Not canoe related, but the Tugaloo River is in the background. One of my favorite birds. It has been my desktop for almost a year. Time to find a new one!

I just had this idea while watching a download take place on one of my pcs - What does everyone have on their desk top for a photo? Are yours canoe related? (It might also make a good "Topic of the Month") It might give us all something to look at and think warm thoughts. This is mine - I think this was on Caribou:

Certainly not canoe country. But I share it because it is my current desk top photo of outdoor habitat and well, it is my “Listening Point”.

That is a Cedar Waxwing. We get some big flocks wintering in north GA. They are also very rare residents.

I almost thought - that was one of my pics. I've got a few that are very similiar. Wonder what model of Bell they're paddling in that photo.

Wow! In looking at your photo, I see what you mean! It is a Bell Northwind, green (Spartan green) on the outside. We bought it in 1998, and I believe this photo was 2006. The wood doesn't look nearly this good anymore, as we have neglected proper care, and perhaps this is one reason I love this photo so much. Brings back memories of better, easier times.
I have also used the photo below as a desktop photo at another time.

PaddleIN: "Malberg Lake, June 2021. " Great memories of this campsite on Malberg. Back in the late '90's we had a bear come into our camp and made off with the food pack. Only ate all the sweets but left everything else. Also had a cow moose and calf come through this camp on the same trip.

One of our all-time favorite places but no crawlers on the site. We were slated for a return visit this past August but then forest fires shut things down.

Must have been the sun angle? Looks cool upside down too. I saw my 11 year old son wading out to the rock. He climbed up and just sat there for a few minutes...just soaking up the moment. I know he's ready for a father/son trip now.
