The northern hemisphere is preparing for fall and winter. While the flowers conclude the blooming season and the trees shed their leafs, supermarkets have already released this year’s assortment of Christmas candy.
But please don’t dig out your Christmas decorations. Not yet! Wait for December.
In the meantime however, you can preserve this light and happy feeling of spring and summer and carry it into the dark season.
How about decorating your desktop with a beautiful refreshing wallpaper, for example with images of fresh, green grass. It’s a prime delight!
1. Blueish Grass
The source for this first image is fotocommunity, a website for photographers. As a result the images are not available in typical screen resolutions. However, they are of stunning beauty and high quality. That’s why I use many of these photos, although they don’t really fit my screen resolution.
