Serene Twain Harte Winter Wallpapers

These scenic photos were taken in and around the jewel of the Sierra's, Twain Harte, California. We've lived in this area around ten years now and truly enjoy the quiet, peaceful, serenity of this mountain community. While it's not always quiet here, the winter months are pure bliss.

Twain Harte snow is special, there is just no other way around it. Most full-time Twain Harte residents welcome the snow, like a breath of fresh air. Our family is no exception. I can't seem to get enough of it or stop staring at these idyllic images. I find them so refreshing. There is nothing like a walk in the fresh Twain Harte snow.

One of my favorite things to do is get up very early after a fresh snow and try to get some fantastic pictures before the fresh snow has been soiled or disturbed. It can be a real challenge because those darn snow trucks are very efficient and those drivers take their job very seriously.

I stumbled upon Sullivan Creek quite by accident just a few short days ago. I was so taken with it's simple beauty and serene waters I couldn't help but snap up a few pictures. This portion of Sullivan Creek rests along a private drive not far from downtown Twain Harte. It's a shame that this entire portion of the creek has been fenced off and is off-limits to those who don't live along it's shores.

About Picasa

If you have not tried Picasa photo software created by Google, my friend you are missing out. This free software is versatile, efficient and fun to use. I'm always a little leary of downloading free software but I have to tell you that next to Google Earth, this is one of the neatest free programs I've used to date.

Picasa will automatically search your computer for all your photo's and import them for you automatically. Picasa offers loads of extras. You can get rid of red eye in a snap, share pictures with your friends quickly and easily. Picasa sorts your photo's and images into their own folder, to create a tidy display. My personal favorite is being able to rotate an image without losing quality, which is what happens with many other photo programs. If you haven't tried Picasa, you are really missing out.
