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:
click an image for an enlarged view
- 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………..

3. Corey of See Corey Run
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 fiancé 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…

Oooh, my favorite is Wallpaper 3 in the bottom left corner. I like the perspective of that shot.

Nice wallpapers. I like the London Eye one. I fly over to London just about every year. The first time I went onto the Eye I loved it.

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
