Show My Desktop

A few days ago I was tagged by Absolutely True and challenged to “Show My Desktop”. Makes a refreshing change from some of the question and answer type tag games, so I figured I’d share what my laptop desktop looks like. Before I created the screenshots, I took the opportunity to tidy things up a bit and delete a few shortcuts and old files - a task that was long overdue to be honest!

I use a freeware application to display random desktop wallpaper, so for this tag I chose 4 of my favorites. Here they are:

  • Wallpaper #1 - Photo of a beach in Grand Cayman where my wife and I vacationed in 2003. So relaxing….
  • Wallpaper #2 - The swim start at Ironman USA in July 2004. I still can’t believe I was able to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and run 26.2 miles
  • Wallpaper #3 - Cropped photo of The London Eye taken on my recent trip to the UK (Summer 2007)
  • Wallpaper #4 - Wonderful photo of a rowing boat at sunset on a Norwegian fjord, courtesy of talented photographer Thomas Laupstad

Oh, I almost forgot. I need to tag a few other people too. Let me see………..

4. Claire of A little piece of me

      Hi Steve,

      Since you mentioned your wife, I was curious to know if she runs, or runs with you.

      My fiancĂ© runs as well, sometimes with me & sometimes not. Actually, I got him into running. (Although he plays/played all sorts of sports - basketball, football, etc., he’d never really run seriously before he met me.) In fact, we ran a lot together when we first dated, & we’re still running to this day.

      Grand Cayman is a lovely place to visit. Sounds like you had a great trip!

      Nice desktop you’ve got! Mine is just plain blue and boring. I love that picture of the boat and the sunset. It is so peaceful. I can just imagine myself laying in that boat and relaxing…

      Thanks Mike :)

      Is it just me or was anyone else disappointed that the London Eye moved so slowly? I was waiting on it to take off ;)
