Here’s the update that I mentioned earlier today. Both of these wallpapers can be found on the Animal Wallpapers page.
A note on Lazy Days. The picture of this Amur (Siberian) Tiger was a digital zoom shot taken through glass (dirty glass at that). I cleaned it up as best I could. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, but I do realize that it’s still a bit grainy so don’t be surprised if there’s an update to this wallpaper – if I get some extra time I might try to clean it up some more.
And then here’s the wallpaper in honor of Independence Day. At the zoo they had a bird show in one of the amphitheaters and one of the last birds they brought out was this amazing and beautiful creature (an injury sustained in the wild makes it impossible for it to be released and survive in the wild). This was the best picture that turned out, it is being held by the zoo-keeper (and is actually part of the picture of my sister-in-law and niece standing with the zoo-keeper and the bird) and so I had to remove the zoo-keeper’s shoulder by extending the star field down a bit, thankfully his glove that the bird is perched on is brown and so is not as noticeable.

Birthday’s should be fun, right? I mean, in general…one should be enjoying their birthday?
I had a great ‘pre-birthday’ dinner with my family last night which I loved, my niece is totally crazy and quite the little pill 
. And then today, I don’t know, it just feels like… less. It feels like in the pit of my stomach that something is missing. It’s annoying, to say the least… I’m trying to be happy, but this gut feeling won’t seem to go away.
Is it the 10 year high school reunion coming up in just over a week that has my stomach in knots? Is it that someone at work today actually said to me “I figured you’d be working on your birthday” 
(do I really have no life? or do people think I have no life?) Is it a combination of things and it’s just some ‘another-year-older-another-year-that-was-spent-*alone*’ type melancholy?
*blah* I hate it when I have a hard time enjoying my birthday.
On a completely and totally unrelated note: I do have a couple of wallpapers that I’ve been working on. One of them is a patriotic themed wallpaper using a picture of a bald eagle that I took at the zoo on June 16th, it’s taken a while to do because yesterday I wasn’t liking it and decided to scrap half of the wallpaper. I’m hoping to have it (and maybe one or two others) finished and up either later tonight/tomorrow or at the latest on Friday (I want to have it up before the 4th of July).

I have another update, and this time it’s three wallpapers. I took some pictures after the rainstorm yesterday and decided to make a couple of wallpapers out of them. I also made a wallpaper utilizing a picture I took on a Church History tour that me and my mom took several years ago (which means that all sections of the The Wallpapers now have at least one wallpaper in them).
The first two wallpapers are in the Nature/Scenic wallpapers category:
And the third is (as mentioned) in the newly opened Faith-based wallpapers:

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday and I’m pleased to be updating with another wallpaper. This is actually one that I’ve been working on for a while, it’s been through a few different versions and I think I’m finally happy with with how it’s turned out. Because of the layout on it, there are slight differences between the Widescreen, the 4:3 Fullscreen and the 5:4 Fullscreen, though I did try to make them as close as possible.
The horse photograph featured in this wallpaper is that of Cinder, a horse that belongs to my aunt and uncle (name is short for Cinderella, one of their grandchildren named him *lol*). There are other credits to mention for this wallpaper, the Rearing Horse is a brush courtesty of Hogret.DeviantART.com. The text on the wallpaper is from a poem written by Tiave, a friend of mine. I’m happy that he was willing to let me use an excerpt of it for this wallpaper.
The wallpaper can be found on the newly opened Animal Wallpapers page

Because I downloaded a hi-res copy of the New Moon trailer, I’ve had a couple people ask me to upload some screen caps. So here they are (if you’re reading this from the homepage, click Read More… didn’t want to take up too much space on the home page).
more…

Yay, an actual update of content! I’m slowly but surely getting there. This is one of my old “Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival” pictures that I’ve adjusted slightly. The frame is a brush that I got from Obsidian Dawn, if you like to play around in photoshop I highly recommend going there if you want to find some interesting brushes
This wallpaper can be found on the Nature/Scenic Wallpapers page
Also, if you haven’t noticed the link in the sidebar, I now have a deviantART page (I finally gave in, silver-wolf581.deviantart.com). My original wallpapers will be uploaded there as well, but only in one size. All available sizes will still remain here on my site. I may also occasionally post non-wallpaper photographs there.
