That was a FAST reply :D

The top one is an Windows Vista desktop apparently. I took the bottom one, it's a stone circle in the Lake District.

I mostly have flowers, motorcycles, lions, tigers, Hubble images and so on plus a few simple outdoor pictures I've taken. When you work on a PC for hours on end, I think it's a good idea to have simple nature pictures.

I never think too much about the wallpaper. Maybe I should find one.

This is what I would use if I knew how to do it.  It's always been a dull gray with a bunch of icons scattered over it.

I know, pathetic.  :(

I just use a maroon/black pattern that kind of resembles one of those 3D illusion pictures, which came with Windows.

On my old computer I used to have Webshots downloaded onto my desktop and had rotating pictures. I'm happy with this one for a while now, though.

I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up.

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

I have two. On my lap top something related to Dewey's. :wink: It has been there to remind me to take care of a bit of business. Once that it done, a pic of my (other) kids will be returned. :biggrin:

The other is on my home desk top, a view of the local cranberry bog, a rare treasure in our area. Seems to be located on another computer... :shrug:

Heh, Bee Lady, tell me you recognized my wallpaper right away, before I explained it to Frank. I laughed to myself when I posted it thinking, "she's gonna see that, and say, 'Hey, I know where that is!' " ^_^

Man, I can't wait to see them all again.

Duh, of course! It is the view we think of always when we are not there.....

PS. For the record, Dilma took our pic! :wub: We can't wait to see how they have all grown over the last year....

Ah! The light pollution map.

Very disturbing.

Much more so than say, global warming IMO.

This is what I have now; I change mine fairly often. I needed something warm and dry, and light, for this cold, dark, rainy season.
