Bet most all of us have interesting desktops!?! Mine is actually pretty mellow -- an early morning in the Sundarbans -- the mangrove forest lining coastal Bangladesh. I like the serenity, and the red glow of the morning sun.

Mine is bland, because my office is in my house and this is the view from my office.


this is the view from my office.


My computer desktop looks like this, since I run dual monitors.

I rotate a few ones around.

Right now it's this one. I don't know this girl; she's 2 months old at the time of the picture and made it in the paper because of her hair. My daughter found her googling "ginger baby" I think ( no offense meant!).
There is so much in that expression; I love looking at her.




This one is of my daughter 3 years ago, right at the beginning of being a teen.....simply a sweet happy girl.





This is a picture my daughter took a while ago. The mushrooms were 3 millimeters.





This one keeps coming back, mostly when I feel a little homesick.

Most of the time it'll be photos of moments that brought me joy. Was this until recently:

But that's been replaced by our newborn grandson.

This is a picture I took in Glacier a couple of months ago. Though, my desktop is messy by my standards right now.

Do I see a Firefox icon and no Safari icon on your dock?

Usually the Rose Creek Release Pen, YNP

This time of year (after too much winter), my thoughts and desktop move to fishing. My backpacking trips (and summer) are still too far off to inspire that theme change.

Our desktop is pretty tame, but inspiring.

I run dual monitors (my husband runs 4 - yikes)

Taken mid September of 2009 on a trip to some hidden lakes I had wanted to visit for years - and I knew my chance was dwindling so it was go or not - I was pregnant with my second son and went bushwacking...what a trip!


My second and third sons taken in February when Aistaire was a week old, with Walker holding him:

At work I used to do a "recursive" background. A shot of my actual desk on my desktop. It made people stop and say "wait ..."

Salton Sea in the distance

A great view of Rainier from Grand Park in the RNP. I have to admit, I found it online rather than took it. But it was epic, so it became my desktop.

Go to your happy place!

It is actually big enough to handle my dual monitor setup with ease.

Oh dearie me....

I'm a utilitarian grey sort of chap....so my (very few) friends tell me...

I usually rotate between:
1) a topo map of the next destination that I'm obsessing about, and found that maps as desktop wallpaper help me memorize it best.

2) a reminder of mountain cabin to buy in 2015 when the real estate market plateau

3) another reminder to do my adventures off peak times. looks like an advertisement.

I at least pretend I can be outside... :)

My Mac - Screen 1. Hope Pass in the Fall




Mac - Screen 2 - Salt Creek Canyon in Canyonlands NP:




Ubuntu laptop when I am "On the floor" and need to do some troubleshooting. The San Juans at Stony Pass:




And my very exciting Windows desktop where I do all systems work:



IT Geek pays the bills if with terrible views other than my machines wallpaper. :O

Well, like most of my life, cluttered as heck and quite the mess, but with my pups always on my mind. This is an old shot of them, around 10 years ago. Chance, on the right, died a couple of years ago. Casey is about to go under the knife for the second time in three months for a tumor that doesn't want to quit!
