Welcome to 2022!

Free 2022 Desktop Wallpaper Calendar Collection

Well, here we are… Like 2020, it seems 2021 wasn’t quite the year all of us were expecting. For many – probably all of us to one degree or another – it was a year of struggle, hardship and loss. But now its 2022! And with the New Year comes another 365 days for us each to make the most of, regardless of what comes our way. As has become our tradition, we’ve put together a collection of seven 2022 desktop wallpaper calendars to brighten up your computer in 2022. Whether you enjoy the pristine beauty of lighthouses on rugged shores, the thrill of unique and storied cars, the picturesque scenes of small town New England, or the bird’s-eye perspective of our fine art drone photography – we’re sure to have something to suite your tastes! And the best part – they’re all free to download and enjoy!

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
– Jesus, Matthew 11:28, 29

We hope you enjoy our 2022 desktop wallpaper collection, and we wish each and every one of you a year of joy, accomplishment and (in a culture that is increasingly devoid of rest) a healthy portion of margin to slow down, relax and enjoy fellowship with the Lord, the fruits of your labor, and the warm comfort of friends and family.

Down East Road Trip – Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor

3 Days of Wonder and Nostalgia in New England’s Only National Park

Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor - Bass Harbor Light Spectacular Sunset

New England, and certainly Acadia National Park, has always held a special place in my heart. I grew up in coastal New Hampshire and some of my fondest childhood memories center around family trips to the park. It was here, my brother and I took our first flight, soaring silently above the rounded mountains of Mt. Desert Island in a glider, and to this day, a clock hangs in my parents house with a photo of my brother, myself and our cousins atop Cadillac Mountain from a trip in the early 90’s. It was here too, that I took Bryn for her first trip to New England, before we were even dating, now 20 years ago, and here we returned two years later as part of our honeymoon. And so, after a far-too-long time away, we returned again this summer to Acadia to introduce our own children to a park that holds so many of our treasured memories.

The Rocket’s Red Glare

Celebrating America’s Independence with the Firework’s Bang

Fireworks on the Piscatiqua River - Portsmouth, NH

After a warm summer day filled with hot dogs and watermelon, parades and performances; Americans gather together en mass along lakeside beaches, municipal sports fields and picturesque river fronts in anxious anticipation of the booming barrage to come. As the last tendrils of daylight blend into the growing blue-black expanse of twilight, a single, solitary flare blazes a vertical trail into the sky, signaling the start of the fireworks display.

A Summer Visit to New England's Isles of Shoals
A Summer Visit to New England's Isles of Shoals

Every once in a while, if the conditions are just right, we’ll get a summer’s day here in Florida that reminds me of my beloved New Hampshire childhood. Today is just such a day, with unseasonably low humidity, azure blue skies, the chirping of songbirds and a gentle breeze that transports me back to a lazy summer day in New England. It was on just such a day that Bryn and I visited the Isles of Shoals for the first time back in July of 2017.
