Happy Monday!  It’s May! I can’t believe it.  This year is flyyyying by.  Do you feel that way too?  Today we’re sharing our Seasoned View and it happens to be flowers, flowers and more flowers! I guess April showers really do bring May flowers…  All these images were shot in Colorado, so know that you’re sprinkling a little bit of the Rockies onto your desktop this month.  Have a great week!

Happy Monday Ya’ll!  Seasoned View: (lucky) Vol. 13 today!  I can’t believe Kate and I have been on this blogging adventure for over a year now.  Thank you SO much for following along and remember if there’s something we do that has been driving you crazy this past year, you can tell us in the comments.  We are already aware of how horribly we spell, but besides that bring it on.  Tell us what is up.

Oh yeah, PS. I’m an aunt times two now!! Yep, Katie had her second baby boy yesterday!  Once she is rested I’m sure she’ll give us an update on his stats and the little guy’s name.  Until then, you can upload one or all of these photos to use as your desktop background or as phone and tablet wallpapers.  Simply click on the download link below each photo and save the image.  Enjoy!

Wondering what my desktop actually looks like? I’m a leeeeetle bit embarrassed to show you, but here goes:Screen Shot 2015-04-05 at 10.14.59 PMInitially it looked like the photo above, but I was able to trash a bunch of things and pare it down to this photo:

Ugh. I know it’s ridiculous, but at least my actual desktop doesn’t look like that, right?! If you look closely, you’ll see one of my folders is “entire desktop” well that little baby also contains folders with the names “everything ever” and “OMG so much stuff” this is what happens when you take and edit photos for a living. So. Much. Stuff.

It’s February! One-twelfth of 2015 is over. That is totally cool with me.  One more month closer to summer says the bitter winter-hater in me 😉  Each month I post a screenshot of my desktop with one of the new seasoned view backgrounds.  Did you notice that it always looks so clean and tidy?  Well, I wanted to let you know that it’s a total illusion.  Each month My desk top really looks like this:

Then I simply make a folder entitled everything or entire desktop or all of it and select all the crap on my desktop and throw it in there.  I wish housework was that easy!  See? All clean:

Happy New Year!  Katie and I took a major blogging break over the holidays.  We were both busy traveling and celebrating with family, but not each other! During Christmas and New Years, Kate hung out with her in-laws in Colorado and I visited my boyfriend’s family in Pennsylvania.  Our family get together starts today, just in time for Russian Christmas! I can’t wait to see Katie and my little nephew along with the rest of the Schu crew.  Bear with us this week, the blogging may be slow due all the hugs and conversations we need to catch up on.  If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, these photos will seem a little unrelatable and hey, good for you! If you are currently freezing your bum off in the Northern Hemisphere, know that we’re with you.

November is here. I’m in disbelief! Where the heck did October go? All of a sudden there is a serious chill in the air and day light savings time is here.  A new month calls for a new Seasoned View and while perusing through my photo archives, I realized most Novembers I’m traveling. Three years ago I was in Thailand, two years ago I spent the month in Brazil and last year I slept in a tent in northern California for six weeks.  I guess I shouldn’t complain about chilly November weather since history reminds me I haven’t experienced it much, but here I am bundled up under an afghan wondering how I’m going to survive the winter ahead.

This month’s photos are all from high atop Foster Mountain near Willits, CA.  As you can see, half of them are either sunrise or sunset photographs because I was busy working during the day. I hope you don’t mind some natural color palettes this month.   You can upload one or all of them to use as your desktop background or even as phone and tablet wallpapers.  Simply click on the download link below each photo and save the image.  Enjoy!

A note about the last photo:  It was taken in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia on May 2, 2011.  I was later told that the creator of these funky creatures is a really cool dad.  He posts these up around Philly for his daughter to find during walks and car rides.  Super sweet, right? Think about that while they dance around your desktop!
