What is you current desk top background/wallpaper - what does that image represent to you - why did you choose it? how often do you change it?I change mine at least every season. I recently switched it when I received some pictures my friend sent from her Hawaiian vacation. The one I chose is a picture of the surf - and the lava rocks in the foreground. I find it very peaceful and can imagine the sounds of the water as the waves come in and splash up against the rocks - and as the tide pulls back out again.

Mine is a picture of a beach in Cuba. To get us ready for our trip coming up. I am a changer of backgrounds. I recently had to restore my computer and lost many pics I had stored in my computer. I am having to rebuild my collection so to speak, so it will be awhile before I change it again.

My background picture is of my hubby who is currently away in Africa for five weeks. He took a couple pictures and sent them to us so I used one of them as my background. I miss him bigtime!! I tend to change my background often, depending on how I am feeling.

I understand your missing him, and I think your choice for backgrounds is perfect! I am glad it is only 5 weeks and not the year to year and a half of some of our deployed soldiers.

My daughter is into anime and manga, so she has tons of pictures about her favorite characters downloaded. About once a week she changes the background to one of those. Then, when I notice the new background, I ask about it. It gives us a point of contact to talk about her interests, which I like. So I never know what my background is going to look like next! Right now it is a drawing of two wolves that someone did.

one of her characters - this is one of the characters she has drawn, she developes many stories around these persons she creates.
my 12 year old also is into computer art. she has her own desktop on my computer and is always changing her background to something that she created on the computer's "paint" program.

I normally choose soothing pictures of sceneries. I am the only one who will see my wallpaper so I do not need to choose any to represent me. I don't need to impress anyone. I just need something nice to look at myself.

I have a picture it is called "Purple Lake" and well its a lake with a dark and light purple sky with mountains in the distance! I change my background about every 2 weeks or so.. or when someone sends me a picture that I like! I chose that background because it is purple and that is my favorite color and I just liked the picture!

I currently have a photo of my new niece that was just born on April 17, 2007. I enjoy keeping family pictures on my desktop, usually my children, husband or parents. It just reminds me to pray for them everytime I see it.

The wallpaper I have right now is one I created. It has the Charmed sisters on one side and a calendar on the other. I like having a calendar available so I can check dates as need be. I change mine a lot actually. When ever I make a new one I check it on my computer before adding it to my one site. It might stay up there for a while and other times I am switching every day. Depends on my mood and how often I make new ones.

Right now, my desktop shows a photograph of the physicist Stephen Hawking floating in zero gravity on a space shuttle! He chose to float along with an apple, as a tribute to Issac Newton. I find the image a great motivator-- Hawking overcame so many disadvantages, including being wheelchair-bound and permanently paralyzed, and became one of the greatest scientists in human history-- it's hard NOT to be inspired by someone like that. Plus, in the photograph he just looks so happy, it always makes me smile.

Mine desktop is a fantasy art pic. It is a full moon, because I praise to the moon Goddess. It is quite beautiful. I change my background all the time, almost every other week. I like a change. I usually have a fantasy art pic up, because I just love fantasy art.

My desktop background is one from The Lakehouse. I really really love this movie. Top favorite actress and one of my top favorite very hot actors Keanu Reeves. Plus the story is SO romantic I could die! Ah! So I got that picture from online and I like it too much to change it :))

My home computer just has one of the standard, boring Windows desktop backgrounds right now. I got tired of the picture I had up before and changed it in a hurry. I usually change them about every three or four months. My work computer has a picture of my basset hound when she was just a puppy.

Mine is water with seas shells and fish, which I have used just a short time. I had tulips for about a month and my computer crashed losing some items. My older lap top has waterlilies, which I grow for a living. The fish are certainly easier to take care of this way, as I have many fish in my home.

My current desk top wallpaper is a picture of sky, and there are two feathers flying. I feel it is very peaceful, so I've used it for quite a long time.
