Calendar for September

This month I’m a “little” late getting my September calendar up on the blog. Oops! This is a photo I shot on Quadra Island while waiting for the ferry to take my sisters, sisters-in-law and Mom back to Vancouver Island. The 8 of us spent a long weekend together at a wonderful b&b on Quadra, just hanging out together, catching up on our lives, and bopping around the island. We all had a great time and plan to do it again soon.

Calendar for August: Prairie Storm

For an August calendar gift to you, I’ve chosen to feature a photo I shot on our trip to Saskatchewan. I shot this from the car window, just after (or before — I can’t remember) an incredibly beautiful prairie storm. I was in awe of the light, the landforms, the gentle rolling hills and the prarie, both cultivated and native. What a gorgeous province!

Calendar for July: Bluebird House

Dear blog readers:
Here is my monthly calendar offering to my blog readers to say thank you for reading and visiting — I publish these downloadable calendars as a gift of appreciation to you for sharing your lives with me through your writings and photos and comments on my blogs. 

For July’s calendar, I wanted to feature a photo I shot at our friends’ land near Helena. Clancy and Mandy celebrated their wedding in August, 2005 near this beautiful aspen grove in Blue Cloud. The rainbow-colors painted on this bluebird house, to me, symbolize the beauty and happiness these two young people have — and are creating everyday — in their lives. Their one year anniversary is coming up next month: blessings and good luck to both of you in the second year of your marriage, Clancy and Mandy!

Please feel free to download and print this calendar. To download, click anywhere on the calendar and you should get a new window with the image. Click on the photo again in that new window to go to the large version of the calendar. Right-click to download the calendar. It should print out 8.5″ x 11″. If you have a printer that requires a margin, please print this slightly reduced to fit on a standard letter-size paper.

I hope you enjoy the monthly calendars, and please let me know if you have any problems downloading I can send them to you by email attachment. Enjoy!
