It’s August - the last month to get to the beach, so I went with this image from Coney Island. Click on the image below and, when it loads, right-click to set it as your desktop background.

Here’s the background for July. Sorry for going back to Flowers (for those who have complained), but I think this one is really nice.

I was reading Scott Kelby’s Digital Photography books when he suggested making a background calendar to get my photos out there.  A lot of people at work like to have these types of backgrounds and I follow another photographer/blogger that does the same.  Here’s my January 2010 calendar.  To make these your background, click on the photo and then right-click and click on “set as my background” if you’re using Windows.  Linux and Mac users should be technical enough to be able to figure out what they need to do for their specific situation.
