Desktop Wallpaper: Grand Canyon January 2013

I want to start a new feature on the blog where I offer a free desktop wallpaper each month. If you've tried to use my images as background images in the past and found it frustrating to find out it only shows up pixelated and ugly looking, that's because I have uploaded my images to be only as big as 700 pixels on the longest side. The images I upload as desktop wallpapers will be 1920x1200 and 1280x1024, large enough to fit on most laptop or desktop screens. If that means nothing to you, just know that when I offer the desktop wallpapers you will be able to use them on your computer full screen and they will look as crisp and clean as I intended them. Feel free to share this with your friends and enjoy looking at your new desktop background, courtesy of the Grand Canyon!
