Well, spring is well in swing here in Auckland. It’s a great time of year to be taking photos, especially of nature. Everything’s fresh and hasn’t yet been burnt by New Zealand’s harsh UV-rich sunshine. It seems that while the environment is waking from it’s winter slumber, people are doing the same. It’s amazing what [...]
Man I love mushrooms – and I love taking photos of them. Check that out. Anyway, I was looking through some of my photos and thought this would make a cracking desktop wallpaper background. There’s some great depth of field going on there and the varying size of the mushrooms just makes it all the [...]
Well… It’s been a while since I’ve last uploaded an wallpaper photo here on Beautiful Desktop. And there is a reason for that. It’s all Google’s fault.

I can’t turn down the opportunity to capture nature at it’s freshest, and then of course pass that along to others through some form of digital media, namely photos on the internet. I usually try to select desktop wallpapers which have something [...]
So I am back in New Zealand. Awesome. The opportunities to take great nature photographs are limitless. Also, unlike the UK, there is sunshine. This photo was taken on a recent visit to an island called Waiheke which sits somewhere in the Hauraki Gulf, near Auckland. It is truly a special place. The abundance of [...]
MUSHROOMS, woooh!!!! I don’t know about you, but I love mushrooms. And not because of their edibility or potential euphoric side effects. They have a mystical quality which could be a product of my exposure to Alice in Wonderland, or is more likely because they are freaking bizarre. Seriously though, they don’t photosynthesise, grow within [...]
Sometimes it can be difficult choosing appropriate photos to use as wallpapers for this site. I’m well aware that the internet has covered the market for images of kittens and our favourite celebrities. Thanks internet… Anyway, this photo be it devoid of kittens, still seems to pull some form of emotional response from me. It’s [...]
