Title: What's on your desktop then, eh?
Post by: Yellow Petals on December 21, 2006, 14:16:09
Do you change it from time to time or just keep the same one?  I just tend to change mine when I spot a stunning picture that I simply have to use! lol

One pc
Two monitors
Two keyboards (one dead, one in action)
A photo scanner
200 blank CD-Rs
and two heaps of paperwork that kind of glue all the above together.  :D




Oh... you meant the other kind of desktop  ;D

At the moment it is the children on a crisp autumn day.  It always tends to be them and it always tends to be one of those funny ones when they are pulling daft faces or doing something curious!

I've just changed mine back to Robert Brenchley's frosty lane picture from last year (hope it's ok to use it/show it here, Robert)

Greyhound, every time I see your avatar it cracks me up!  ;D

I have a bit of a Battlestar Galactica obsession at the moment (well, technically I always have it! ;)) as I wait for season 3 to get over here in any way, shape or form! Needless to say I really like Starbuck, it's sort the 20 year old in me. ;D I'm not really the fanboy type in any other way, honest! It'll probably change back to something art related in a couple weeks.

Purty dog greyhound, I walk a couple lurchers occassionally and they'd love to go for a mad loopy run with that one. :)

I change the desktop background on my PC's quite regularly, though if i have one i really like i might stay on there for a few months. its usualy a nice photo i have taken myself, but occasionaly i might use one from the internet i like. A common subject is the garden, but currently i have one of the long borders at Wisley, taken on a visit back in september. I know that was months ago but the late summer flowers out in the borders at the time are a nice reminder of warmer, more colourful days. I keep meaning to change it but i cant find anything better at the moment.

Thats on the Desktop PC, on my laptop I have a picture of a racehorse called Kauto Star, a current favorite of mine, taken off the internet.

EDIT: Heres my Desktop one.

Sorry dont have the other one stored on the desktop PC, but heres a similar one to give you an idea

Richard, is that a photograph you have taken?  I really like it.  It should have been entered into one of the monthly competitions on A4A  :)

Which one do you mean. I took the top/first one. the other is off the internet. Yes i should have entered the wisley one. Cant remember what happened there. I either entered something else or missed the deadline for entry.

Oops hehe, sorry, the first picture is indeed the one I meant.  I like it very much - and it makes me feel summery!  ;D
