Images on desktop not showing thumbnail preview. Suggestions?

When I save images to my desktop, the image doesn't have a preview thumbnail image. This just started about two weeks ago. I'm running OS X 10.9.1 on my MBA I have not loaded any new software. It doesn't matter if it's a png file or a jpg file. The interesting thing is that after a reboot, the thumbnail image is there. But... When I add a new image to the desktop I get this image again until the next reboot.

Here are a few at once

Any suggestions on how I might correct this? Thank you in advance. Jeff

I was having the same issue. All I did was go to VIEW in the finder toolbar, then VIEW OPTIONS and deselect and then reselect SHOW ICON PREVIEW. Apparently it reset everything, because all my thumbnail previews showed back. Hope it works for you too.
