I change my desktop occasionally, but currently I have a scene from the Lake Superior beach at Naniboujou Lodge on my desktop computer. It was taken after our "Celebration Canoe Trip" in 2009, when we stayed at the lodge on our way back to Michigan, and reminds me of how much I love Naniboujou and how blessed I felt at that time.
And on my laptop I have this merganser in Lake One that I took in 2008 on a day trip, the year before Spartan1 had his kidney transplant:
I keep thinking that it is time to change the photos, but then I find myself transported back to those times and realize that they are still creating their magic. . . .

Schneidl12's "Morning Fog" has been my background at work for years. Really easy on the eyes when you're staring at the screen all day.
My screensaver is a slideshow of random pictures from a folder. Over the years I've tossed a "few" (~1000) of my favorites in there, many of which have come from the photo contests or my own trips, both in the BWCA and elsewhere.
Nice topic. Gives us a chance to thank those whose pics we've stolen. At a quick glance, aebrooks, airmorse, apendl, arkansas man, backpacking5, badgerboy, bannock, bapabear, beavers, beener, bellolake, bigzig, bknitter, blackstick, bloomingtonsteve, boppa... OK, I give up. There's way too many to thank, so thank you all who've contributed!

Your welcome. Did not think any of my pic's were all that great.

quote oldgentleman: "quote TFo: "Took this picture on my first trip to the BWCA. It's been my background at work ever since."
That is a great pic! What happened to the turtle?"
We sat there for a while wondering what to do about it, and finally decided to tow it across the lake to our site to show some boys in our group. It let go about halfway there, so we went back to our fishing hole. A few minutes later, the turtle surfaced and started hissing at us. Biggest turtle I'be ever seen!

This shot of Rebecca Falls in Quetico graces my computer screen. Photo taken in late September 2007.

You're kidding, right? This one caught my eye and was tossed in the screensaver...
...but browsing your gallery you have a number of great ones. You especially seem to have a knack for sunset pics. The co-pilot one is great too, but breaks my heart.

I switch mine up quite a bit as it evokes memories of that particular trip and moment when I took the picture. Some memories are getting fuzzy... :(
This was Quetico fall 2008. Hadn't seen any wildlife to speak of over ten days. We were getting close to our exit on French Lake when we spotted this guy.

For years it had been Barton the Marten, seen above working on a deer carcass left in a tree. That pic was taken at Lark Lake, so technically not the BWCAQ, but close enough.
A couple of weeks ago, I switched things up. The second pic is me, circa 1986 or so, looking over the Pine/Granite River. Love that picture.

My latest background at work."
Howie, thanks for reviving a 12-year old thread. Your screensaver of a Fisher map would make my mind wander!

No photographer has ever taken a better picture of me. "
I agree! Great shot... but you could have at least combed your hair! LOL

My desktop photo is always something out of nature and is often but not always from the BWCA. Usually scenery but sometimes a bird, flower or a fall colors photo. They usually stay up for a month or so before I get around to refreshing it to a new shot. There is certainly no shortage of inspiring photos on my computer to choose from:)
