Platte Clove Catskills Pictures

Platte Clove Waterfall, Catskills Forest Preserve, New YorkGreat pictures from Platte Clove, in the Catskill Forest Preserve, added to our Catskill Mountains pictures page. Being a Californian, I was suprised there wasn't more spring time budding going on here in upstate New York. I've been told we're just a couple of weeks early. Live and learn.  I'll head back to this waterfall in the summer and fall for the various seasonal views.

From snowy woods in Woodstock New York, to the snow covered fields of Cherry Valley, near Cooperstown, Robin took a great series of winter wallpaper pictures that you can use as free backgrounds on your computer or web pages.

Robin has more winter wallpaper scenes available for download at our friend's Big Bear California Cabin Rental site.

Big Bear California Wallpaper Pictures

Big Bear Lake CaliforniaWhile working on my friend Vince's web site for his Big Bear vacation rental house, a log cabin right near Bear Mountain Ski Resort, I decided to add some Big Bear wallpaper pictures. These are shots that my wife Robin took from the top of the Bear Mountain ski slopes.  I couldn't take these pictures because, well, I can't ski that well. No way could I have skied down that mountain! She skis circles around me. Literally. She even took a video while she did it. She took these breathtaking shots of Big Bear Lake, the San Gorgonio Mountain Range, and the ski slopes of Bear Mountain Resort in 2003. We have other pictures, including pictures of Vince's cabin, on his Big Bear cabin rental web site.

New from Los Angeles

Los Angeles and Hollywood at Night at Christmas

I added some night pictures to the Los Angeles gallery, and one to the Hollywood Gallery. These were taken at Christmas time, and the Hollywood shot includes the Christmas Tree lights on top of the Capitol Records building. These Los Angeles pictures make excellent wallpaper for dark themed desktops. For those of you who are unfamiar with how to get these pictures onto your desktop as a background, I made a forum entry just for you.

Christmas in LA

Not exactly thought of as a yuletide place, Christmas comes to Los Angeles, California, too.  So, for those of you who like pictures of clear, 75 degree days for Christmas, here's some yuletide wallpaper of LA. There's a Christmas Tree wallpaper shot with the Peace on Earth statue, lots of poinsettias, LA City Hall through a Minora, the DWP building, the Music Center, and downtown Los Angeles city wallpaper.
