Hurray! Your January 2023 wallpaper/calendar is ready to download!
So Christmas is behind us, but the gentle snow is not. I think this scene depicts the beauty that a quiet snow can represent without reminding us of the terrible disruption to daily life that it can also become. Here in my part of North Idaho we still have snow on the ground in shady places, higher elevations, and of course, in the enormous piles that plows created over the past couple of months. But the roads and pavements are largely clear. THAT’s the kind of snow I can appreciate for its beauty. And I hope we’ve seen the last of the miserable, life-interrupting version for this year! 
My monthly desktop wallpaper & calendar offers you a pretty seasonal picture to customize and brighten your computer monitor. But that’s not all. It also includes a handy monthly calendar, and you’ll find my web address listed at the bottom. (Note that the address isn’t clickable; you’ll have to type it into your browser). This monthly wallpaper design is FREE to download and install, so please don’t hesitate to share this page with your friends and family.
How to download & install your January 2023 Wallpaper/Calendar
Note: You’ll probably want to consult your own computer operating system’s installation instructions, but installing the background image on my Windows 10 system took just 3 quick steps – and less than a minute. It’s super-duper easy-peasy! (Windows 11 seems to work pretty much the same way, as well.)
Here’s how you can (probably) do it, too.
- Decide which version you’d like to download. If you’d like to download the higher-res version of this wallpaper/calendar, left-click here and this month’s image should open. (It might take a few moments to fully appear.) Locate and select the download option (probably somewhere near the upper-left of your screen) and save the image to your computer, renaming it as you wish. OR… if you’d prefer the standard-resolution version, left-click here to open the image. Then right-click on the image and save it to your computer, renaming it as appropriate.
- Once the file has been downloaded, named, and saved, click on your saved image to open it.
- Once open, right-click on the image and select “Set as” > “Set as Background”….. then right-click on the image again and select “Set as” > “Set as Lock screen”. And poof! That’s all there is to it! (For convenience, I recommend you install this on both your desktop system and your laptop. Assuming you still have such things these days, of course!)
Tips for other operating systems:

Finally, please keep in mind that the format of my monthly image is designed for most modern-day 16:9 monitors (a common format for monitors and HD TV’s since about 2009), oriented in landscape format. (If your monitor displays 1920 x 1080 pixels, or 2560 x 1440 pixels, it should work fine.) If you’re working with an older monitor (and/or one that’s more square-ish in format), or your monitor is set up in portrait format or some other variation, the picture will likely not work for you. And unfortunately, I am unable to trouble-shoot individual systems’ incompatibility challenges. Sorry!
