New computer. New wide screen monitor. But it's missing something...

[WillParkinson]

A pretty nature or science-type picture for the desktop. Show me what you got!

[HopeHoops]

1. I'm going out on a limb here and assuming you don't mean anatomy ;}

[WillParkinson]

2. If it would make a good background picture...

Lay it on me. So to speak.

[HopeHoops]

4. Actually, the best "heavenly body" images are at nasa.gov

3. I took this one in October of 2007 at the farm where I lived in Ohio

[WillParkinson]

5. Ooooooh, sooo cool....

I love it.

[lizziegrace]

7. Thanks!

It was dumb luck. I pulled into the driveway and the sky looked like it was on fire. I ran into the house, managed to find the camera and get a few shots taken before that glow disappeared. I had the flash off and only 1 of the 12 I took wasn't blurred.

Sometimes things just fall into place. :)

12. I have one that was kinda the same way

'cept I was on my way out... LOL! I took a bunch, but only one worked the way I wanted it to. After I get my tax refund, I'm gonna splurge and get a better camera and hopefully will be even luckier! :rofl:

[lizziegrace]

13. I'm with you on that

I hope after I find a job I can get a better camera. ;-)

What kind of camera are you looking at? I wanted a Nikon D60...someday.

[vard28]

15. I have a basic canon right now

that I'd just like to upgrade for one that has a good len. I like the results I've had, but a friend is tryin' to steer me to a nikon, probably like the d60. Might be whichever has the better price when I'm ready.

6. This is beautiful

I love sunset photos in farming areas. I wish I could get mine to turn out this well!

[lizziegrace]

8. See my reply to Will

I was lucky. :)

10. Er...no...but...

I will be sharing it with friends. I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

[LynneSin]

11. I thought you were going to say PORN

:shrug:

[WillParkinson]

14. I'm sorry...

It's my computer, not yours.

Besides, I have a full day supply. ;-)

[Arugula Latte]

16. Isn't this gorgeous? I want to go here (Havasu Falls, Grand Canyon)

Sorry for the large size ...

[TommyO]

17. I have a bunch from Digital Blasphemy

www.digitalblasphemy.com

All original artwork, some natural, some fantasy, but all good.

edited to add: Yes, it's a pay site, but a number of the wallpapers are free in a rotating collection.

[WillParkinson]

20. I found one on there I really like...

A mysterious wooded area in the twilight. Stunning.

[TommyO]

30. I'm happy to be of service!

I'm currently using "Sakura" as my wallpaper, but that's liable to chance soon.

18. My favorite place to snag desktop pix

. . . is stock.xchng--great photography and most of it at really high resolution. (Good source for inexpensive stock art, as well.)

[WillParkinson]

19. Neat stuff...And a Photoshop tutorial that I liked!

31. Because you all gave me such excellent pictures...

I had to ask Paul to install a desktop image changer so I could make use of all of them. Yeah, they're all that good. DU'ers have taste. :-)
