February 2010 Desktop Calendar

At the beginning of every month, I am offering C&Z readers a new wallpaper to apply on the desktop of your computer, with a food-related picture and a calendar of the current month.
Our calendar for February is a picture of a diminutive winter squash poetically named pomme d'or (golden apple) in French; I thought its glow might bring a bit of sunshine to your desktop. (And here are a few winter squash recipes if you need inspiration.)
Instructions to get your calendar are below.
Here's how it works:
1- This link will open a new window (or tab) displaying the right wallpaper image for your screen.
2- Right-click (or ctrl-click for some Mac users) on the image, and chose the option that says, "Set as Desktop Background", "Use as Desktop Picture," or something to that effect -- the exact wording will depend on the browser you use.
3- If the image does not fit your desktop background neatly, you may have to go to your preference screen (on a Mac: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop; on Windows: Control Panel > Display > Desktop) and choose "Fit to screen" as the display mode of your background image.
4- Enjoy!
[Note: Readers of this blog live all around the globe, and I am unable to provide localized versions of the desktop calendar at this point. This is why I've opted for the international standard, by which a large majority of countries abide, and which states that Monday is the first day of the week.]

Grâce à toi, je change mon fonds d'écran chaque mois
mais je dois avouer que celui là m'enchante particulièrement avec ce bel orange
A vibrant, cheery orange squash is exactly what is needed at this grey time of the year. Thanks!
Gorgeous colors... Thank you!
i love the way the light is hitting the fruit... it's nice to have such a warming background even during colder months!
Can you get the pomme d'or in Cannes? ;-)
Is it February already?
merci! Such a brilliant beautiful coloured squash - it cheers me up just looking at it.
Thank you, good work!
Tout simplement, je l'adore!
This is an unfamiliar squash to me. Golden Apple... cute!
Cool, thanks. I didn't realise gourds could be so cute.
Merci beaucoup!
The colours remind me of days by the Mediterranean Sea, a golden sun rising on the horizon.
These colors are so soothing. Thanks again.
Very nicely done. Lovely colours.
Merci! A terrific addition to my computer! I always love your photos! :)
