This week, TWQ (The Weekend Question) asks about what we see on our computers every day.
What do you have as a picture on your Desktop? What about your Screensaver?
My answer is:
As a big fan of Nicole Kidman, this is the image on my Desktop:
For a screensaver, I have pictures of Nicole that come one after the other.
Now it's over to you....
But before I go.... My story 'Picard The Criminal' will continue with the next post.

HI from Michelle
I have different Yoga poses circling my screensaver
and on my desktop on this pc but on my laptop I have a world map on my desktop no screenie
I have a photo of my Stanhopea Occulata as my desktop wallpaper - its a gorgeous orchid and one of the best shots Ive ever taken -
no screensaver tho, but I tend to turn off the monitor when I leave my desk.....
Looking forward to your next installment!
Why Nicole Kidman? :)
I have a picture of autumn leaves.
I prefer my screen to be one hued. I do not have any wall papers. Only a turquoise coloured screen.
No screen saver...
Opps! Michele had sent me!
My wallpaper is a gorgeous photo of a garden full of hot pink foxglove - which I stole from somewhere. I usually change the wallpaper about every 2 months, but this one will stay longer, as it is lovely! My screensaver is just a generic one that came with the computer, but I used to have all my photos marching one by one across the screen. I don't know whay that stopped.....LOL
MIchele sent me this morning.
My desktop image is the same one that I use for my blog profile. My screensaver is a huge file of mixed photos of family, friends and landscapes, scanned cartoons, and fine art images that cycles at random.
I have a beautiful, sad-sack photo of Kelso... my greyhound.
Here via michele today!
Funny you should ask this one today as I just changed my desktop picture to the drawing Amanda did for my last Wordless Wednesday - the rainbow unicorn and vinegar fries! Prior to that I had another drawing that she had done.
I don't have a screensaver on my laptop, it just fades to black.
Have a great weekend and looking forward to the next installment of "Picard: The Criminal"!
My monitor features a footbridge over peaceful waters from a nearby city park. Lots of green. I took the picture and still enjoy it. At work I have a brilliant sunset taken in western Washington state.
No screen savers; everything just goes black.
Here from Michele's. Have a great weekend.
My desktop currently has the poster for the upcoming movie Stardust on it.
My screensaver says: "get back to work, you smeghead!". A little RED DWARF for the nerdy.
My desktop is a picture of me and my cousin's son while my screen saver is a fish tank wih tropical fish.
I have the greatest wallpaper ever.
I'm very vain, my wallpaper is a current pic I have taken with my scope, my screensaver is a bunch of my pics in a slide show, they make me happy.
Hey Jean-Luc :-)
On my work desktop I have a photo Carmi took of a stream running over rocks. It was on his blog a month or so ago, and he gave me permission to use it.
On my laptop the desktop is the Black Knight from my days at Wychwood Stud Joust in June. yum!!
On the home computer (which I don't use very often) is a Johnny Depp collage....
My screensaver is the Windows Mystify programme.
Good TWQ, my friend.
And thank you for the comment, I'll be sure and let you know the schedule for next year :-))

My desktop has no photo, I use a bluemountain.com nature scene as a screen saver though.
Nicole Kidman is going to be in the movie "The Golden Compass" in December. remember my post last week regarding my daemon, that's from the website for this movie.
Jean-Luc, you just tickled me with a favorite topic!
My current desktop is an art print of the Tesla Roadster, by Tesla Motors. I'm not a "Save The Planet" kind of guy, but I love the idea of having that car! Here's the link to see desktop snapshot: http://esoterik72.net/images/desktopteslapic.jpg. If you look close at the bottom, you'll see the window for CPJ minimized in the Dock.
my screensaver is the System 47 screensaver. It makes the computer look like a ever rotating LCARS display system in Star Trek. Go here to check it out: http://mewho.com/system47/
My husband just upgraded my computer, so my screentop is... his... ha ha.
So now I'm going to go find one I like. Usually, either a desert scene or quintessential New England town scene.
I don't have a screen saver, just pale lilac screen with my little icons on the side, and photos of my cats in the middle.
On my desktop is a picture of a young dolphin leaping in the ocean.
My screensaver is various pictures of dolphin and whale in the ocean, like yours of Nicole, one coming after the other.
One of my photos of Justin Hayward is my desktop. I have no screensaver.
My wallpaper is Maximilian Schell (pre-The Black Hole period).
My screensaver is fairies floating by sprinkling fairy dust.
For the past several months my desktop pic has been of a young Marine that just returned from Iraq. I used it as a reminder to pray for him daily. Time to change to another friend that has just left.
Being a huge Boston fan, usually it's something about them. When the Sox won the World Series, I had the Wheaties David Ortiz pic.
When it's not sports I go with pictures from Hubble.
My desktop is a cool Firefox logo:

And my screensaver is appropriate for a blogger:

My desktop is a picture of a grassy knole (sp?) and a beautiful blue sky.
I have the space theme...lol...unlike you Jean-Luc! ROTFLOL. But my screen saver is from my photo album then it turns itself off to save energy. :-)
This week I treated myself to a new slim line monitor and a key- board with letters I can read. Do come and look Jean-Luc just scroll down. I am really proud that I managed to get it up and running without help, but still have a screen saver of a plant from the garden. You have inspired me to change it. Thanks. Michele sends her best.
Thanks for all your comments so far, friends. You all have such varied tastes.
Jon, I love the wallpaper you have.
Fab, that Red Dwarf comment made me smile.
ECL, in response to your question, the answer is she is my favourite actress. I have many of her DVDs, including The Hours, The Others, Cold Mountain, Hotel Bangkok, Dogville, Birth, Vietnam etc.
Michele sent me to admit I am a Snoopy addict & currently my wallpaper is a happy autumn sign with Snoopy & Woodstock jumping into a pile of leaves.
My screen saver is a Peanuts baseball game which is mostly Charlie Brown getting knocked down by baseballs in various ways.
Michele sent me back :-)
Cyberkitten has a new desktop every couple of days, the sign of a very fertile mind, I guess.
I like to keep mine up for a while, to enjoy the pictures and the memories :-)
I love the picture I scrounged off Carmi, which you can see here:
http://writteninc.blogspot.com/2006/11/falls.html
I like to look at it for a while on stressful days.

I have a picture of my daughter on the desktop. Then after 5 min we have bubbles, then the screen goes black....nothing fancy
Ps michele sent me...thanks for stopping by
My desktop is an image of the Andromeda Galaxy (it's always something astronomical). Currently, I don't use a screen saver (I have a laptop, so I just close the cover), but I do have one of pictures of my nephew and niece.
no one has ever asked me that before and now all the world shall know that i am quite boring. it is plain blue with nothing else and the screen saver just says windows... sorry to disappoint, it should be a big cruise ship at least!
smiles, bee
Thanks everybody.
Bee, I would have thought you'd have a cruise ship!
my desktop shot is of Quinlan Vos and his girl kahleen in what has to be the most passionate kiss in a comic I have ever seen.It's just hot.
my screen saver is various screen shots of me and my friends as our star wars selves from my star wars galaxies game.
