This is an old photo project I did some years ago from a picture I took of purslane and manipulated into 24 posterized images in that many colors. It resides on an old photo frame where it fades slowly through the colors. Here it is a gif that cycles more quickly without fading due to limitations on the converter I was using.

RR Tracks Background
Another photo you can use as a background on your computer. I’m using some of my creative time to clean out a very crowded folder of these that I have on my computer.
To use this yourself click on the image to open it full size in a new tab. Then right click on it and select “save image as…” to your computer. Then just install it as wallpaper to your desktop as usual. Remember to click on the Backgrounds tab at the right to see the others available.
Spring Background
Wanted to create a background for my computer to celebrate Spring and found this photo from Damariscotta Lake in Maine where we literally watched the ice leave last Spring. Missing that scene for sure out the window, so on the computer is the next best thing.
To use this yourself right click on the image and select “save image as…” to your computer. Then just install it as wallpaper to your desktop as usual. Remember to click on the Backgrounds tab at the right to see the others available.
Wall Background
I’m often finding things to photograph to use as a desktop background. This wall is in a cemetery in New Castle, Delaware. It leaves space for folders and toolbars and as all the photos I choose turns my computer into an interesting scene to work against different from the usual panoramic landscapes that usually distract more than inspire. To save the full image to your computer click on the image to open the full file in your browser and then right click to copy it to your computer. Click on the BACKGROUNDS tag at the right to see all that I post. I’ll add more.
Is the keyboard mightier than the sword?

Perhaps it takes a fountain pen. At least a good gel pen or even a high quality pencil. The first for me is the weapon of choice though I admit a definite practicality of a keyboard. Hence my adoption of this blog as an exercise in creative writing. When updated via my iPad it gets worse with the onscreen keyboard I am reduced to a slow tapping of the keys with a finger or at most two.
Fountain pens demand attention. Left too long without use dries them out and makes them temperamental. I have too many to make this work. Some are destined to too little use. Writing more this way won’t help them.
