Help, does anyone have the picture of the Purple Martin skimming the lake drinking? My computer crashed and that was my screensaver.
thanks

jerleen,
I had one of Rons pictures as a screen saver too. My computer also crashed, and I lost it. I feel your pain! :wink:

This one is my favorite of Ron's. I use it as a screensaver:

If Ron would only publish a Purple Martin Calendar - I'd buy a lifetime subscription. His pictures are fantastic!

Haaa...

I too have this same picture for my desktop (I think).
I switched computers in the office and had to go to my old computer and email myself a copy....lol.

The reason I said "I think" is because you guys are calling it a screen saver (like with motion, etc)
Is there one of these out there to use for a screen saver also?

If so, I would also love to have one of those also.

Hey,
I did not know he had two different ones.
I just got through looking at both links.
The one I have is with the green water background.
Now I need another monitor so I can get the other one.... :grin:

JamesG...Use the other one as your "wallpaper"...then you can have both on the same monitor!

That is what I intend to do! I do not believe we can get any Martin photos (or other bird/wildlife) better than Ron's! He is FAB! Tammy~

This is a more subtle one I like as a screen backdrop -- it's just martins floating across the sky, by Larry Melcher. My computer guy thought it was "bugs!" but it's martins.
