Two rare reptile species native to two delicate island ecosystems—the black tree monitor, native to the Aru Islands off the coast of Papua New Guinea; and the mossy leaf-tailed gecko, native to Madagascar—are now thriving at the San Diego Zoo. The latest milestones in a long history of successful reptile breeding, the new arrivals offer hope for two little-known, yet important species. Read more: bit.ly/2cdySHN
What I used:
1) GeekTool (Available for free on the Mac AppStore)
2) Photoshop (Pixelmator or any other image editing software is fine)
3) Nocturne (Free software by BlackTree code.google.com/p/blacktree-nocturne/)
4) Wallpaper (Sunset at Sea from wallpapers-place.com/nature/sunset-at-sea-hd-wallpaper/)
5) Terminal, just to make the Dock 2D instead of the regular glass dock
6) Font: Helvetica Neue - Ultra Light (comes with every Mac)
What I did:
1) GeekTool: Displays the time and date. Time in words is a Geeklet called Fuzzy Time which can be found here www.macosxtips.co.uk/geeklets/system/display-time-in-word...
2) Photoshop: Erase of the image except for the clouds and the glow of the sun. Set the original image as the wallpaper and overlay this on top using GeekTool
3) Nocturne: Great app that turns your Menu bar black, works best when translucent menu bar is set to 'off' in System Preferences
4) Terminal: Only if you want the flat 2D dock instead of the usual glass tray. Paste the following in Terminal and hit Return
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean yes; killall Dock
When you want the glass dock, just replace 'yes' with 'no' and run it again

I was shoveling a path throught 3 feet of snow when the sun started to set. I went in the house, got the camera and took the photo of the sun set. This photo is the out come.
Another tree-shot from that unbelievable day with that beautiful light and sky.
See the other shots from that day
As usual this is better On Black

First stab at GeekTool and clearing all the files off the desktop. Still not crazy about the alias badges on my sorting folders, and I haven't even started on dock icons, but it's a start...

The fires may be out, but the scars are evident, and the fire still rages on for some.
May the lost souls be resting in peace.
