I love to collect wallpapers to decorate my desktop with. Sometimes it’s tied into the seasons or holidays and sometimes something just grabs my attention. I have a folder full of them and usually change them at least every couple of weeks.
Yesterday I was wanting to change the one I had…no reason other than I was bored with it. I did a google search for fun wallpaper and after about 4 pages I found the perfect one LOL I took a screen shot of it and it’s added to this discussion…I think it looks just like our cat Morgana when she’s had her fur ruffled and is ticked off LOL You can see an actual pic of her in my avatar but this wallpaper just really reminded me of the look she gets.
What do you think of it? Do you collect wallpapers for your PC? What’s your favorite wallpaper site? What’s your wallpaper right now?

Wow that kitty on your wallpaper is cute, but a little scary looking, like he is up to something!
I used to like having different designs and pictures on my desktop, but ever since my niece was born, I've been using pictures of her. Right now it is a picture of my sister holding my niece in front of the "It's a Small World" ride in Disney World.

LOL Hubby likes to pet Morgana and then run his hand backwards up her fur and rufflel it up and that is the look she gets on her face when he does it LOL I saw that paper and knew I had to have it.

Nah, I am boring, I keep the same wallpaper for long times. Mine is a shot of Dominica, at the most beautiful spot I have ever seen!

I do like new and different wallpapers for my desktop and recently found a site that I like very much. The name is desktopnexus.com. Give it a look. I think you'll find some really nice wallpapers there. Good luck.

I use photos that I have taken as my desktop and screen saver.

I use a website www.mikebonnell.com and get all of my computer wallpaper there. He does fantastic work with abstract art or just CGI scenery. I also take my cell phone and take a picture of my computer monitor's image and use that as the wallpaper on my cell phone. Saves me money that way instead of buying the wallpaper the cell phone companies want us to buy at $3 a pop.

I love changing the wallpaper on my computer to different things. I use photos of family,friends, and myspace graphics. I don't really download alot of wallpapers from sites I just see a picture and use it.

I have not really done much with wallpaper lately. I've been afraid of the online sites. I have discovered that a lot of them have spyware in them. My last wallpaper was a Houston Astros baseball one featuring Craig Biggio who has since retired. When my computer crashed this last time I lost it. Sigh.

I've never seen the point of "wallpapers" for computers. If I'm using the computer, whatever program or site I'm using is visible, not the desktop. And when I'm not using the computer, I just turn it off.

LOL I love playing with wallpapers and changing them...my pc is on all the time unless I'm gone somewhere or sleeping and alot of times I just minimize the window when I'm taking a break so I like to have a nice wallpaper to see. I also let my niece and nephew help pick them out sometimes...I just have to be careful what sites I go to for them.

I just love wallpapers. Right now, I have a really beautiful picture of a bird sitting on a wooden post with a rainbow in the background. It is absolutely amazing. I think I have 100s of pictures with me. I don't browse for them, but just collect them from the emails my friends send me. :)
Cheers and happy Mylotting

Hi twoey, I do love wallpapers and would love to change them every now and then, but somehow stick to one for a full month due to time constraint. I get some wallpapers from my Bank, they keep on sending from time to time along with their Newsletter. That becomes easier for me to download. So most of my wallpapers are taken from the Banks newsletter. The wallpaper in your avatar is quite attractive!

I don't change my wallpaper very often, but when I do, I usually choose pictures of places I've been on holiday - the last wallpaper was a view of the marina from my daughter's patio. At the moment, I have a gorgeous picture of a little fishing village in Cornwall, called Polperro. I haven't been there, but I'd love to one day. I came across it in a computer game I played, and it's my dream to visit in real life. Until then, it's my wallpaper - to remind me.

I love watching wallpapers online. They are common resources to share and to be enjoyed. I appreciate the designers for their creativeness, art, technology, and love for life. The wallpapers, as other new inventions in the computer age, are bringing about new inspirations to people, young and old.
I will definately visit the sites you recommended, and have a bit of relaxation from the texts.

I totally agree with you my friend , in fact I sort of collect them too :D
It all depends on my mood , I like abstract vision when I'm serious or something from nature or animals when I'm in a happy state :D When I'm sad or depressed I like something dark that will correspond with my situation.
This is all about me , I usually download pack from torrent sites , and after I just select the right ones :D I suggest Mininova if your looking for a download point:)
Well ,Thanks for this interesting topic , I really enjoyed :D
Good Luck

I don't really use wallpapers for my computer, but the one on my laptop is nice and cute Baby boy picture. I really like him so I never thought of changeing it.
If some body knows a baby picture sites do let me know, if I find cuter than the one I have I may think of changeing it
Cheers
