Sierra Club 2009 Wilderness Calendar

Many years ago, I made the 'mistake' of giving my sisters each a copy of the Sierra Club Wilderness Calendar for Christmas. I did the same thing the following year. The year after that, thinking they had to be getting bored with the calendars, I gave them something different. But they did not want anything different... they wanted the calendars!

So here I am, quite a few years later, still giving each of my three sisters a Wilderness calendar every Christmas.

Having said that, the calendars are always spectacular. The views are exceptional, and photographed well with top-quality cameras. The pictures are printed large and beautiful on very good quality paper.

You won't go wrong with one of these calendars.

Oh, yes - the calendars come packaged in a nice mailer. Just add postage and a couple of addresses and it's ready to mail to your sister in Florida - or anywhere else for that matter.

I have this hanging by the kitchen phone. The photos are lovely to look at and the paper holds up to the felt tip pens we use to color-code the family's appointments and plans. Each day's squares are large enough that more than one appointment can be written on them, too. Well worth the price--and the pages never curl as you reach the end of each month like they do on the free or cheaper calendars made of thinner paper.

Although I usually receive several calendars as gifts or freebies every year, I have faithfully put down cash for one- and only one- for the past 32 years. That's the Sierra Club Wilderness calendar. The photography is always breathtaking, and the calendar acts as an reminder (and invitation to) the stunning landscapes of this earth throughout the year.
