What a beautiful life it would be to wake up to this every morning. Well, now you can! Below we’ve posted versions optimized to fit everything from your desktop to your iPhone! This is Wallpaper Wednesday.

The National Corvette Museum and Lynda Patterson have both suffered losses. Patterson’s is much more significant, though. While a sinkhole took eight of the facility’s exhibit models in February, the resident of Louisville, Kentucky lost her husband Mike to a brain tumor in 2012. She no longer has her 40th Anniversary Corvette, either. It’s now […] More »
