Found on reddit one day and I love it.

It's somebody's cat pic they posted to Reddit a couple years ago. This cat is my spirit animal.

This one. I think I found it on a wallpaper subreddit, back at the time, before the fire nation attacked.

This is my phone one. I'm pretty sure I got it from the Amoled wallpapers subreddit a few years back.

My laptop wallpaper is a picture my wife took of me walking in the park holding hands with one of my kids. It's taken from behind and it looks like I'm guiding her on a journey, which of course I am. :)

I wasn't going to post it but there's nothing overly dox-y in it so here is a heavily scaled down version:

This is an extreme close up of a painting I liked in the National Portrait Gallery in DC.

I have a steam summer sale 2021 picture right now, i think it looks nice. I sort of forgot it was from a game a while.

🏴‍☠️

I just thought this was cute

I don’t think this needs any clarification.

Shot I took at a local park

Picture from a ski holiday in the Dolomites in Italy. The weather made for bad skiing but great photos. They built a restaurant on that view a few years back unfortunately.

Found it on Lemmy, I think, actually.

Found it on Lemmy:

(Thanks for the cool wallpaper.)

Edit: I upscaled it for you

It is a shot from one of my favourite anime. Plus, I love how the cherry blossoms look even in black and white.

My cat:

Was into Dogecoin for the meme in high school, haven't touched crypto in years but now I've become too attached to my background to change it.

Russian warship, go fuck yourself.

I generated it using Midjourney. I like the flowers :)

Oh and the wallpaper on my work laptop:

My PC desktop is a slideshow of some of my own wildlife photos. My favorite one features this fuzzy friend:

Mine's a phone. Because it's a phone. Had it so long I don't remember where it came from.

I can't remember where I found this one, I've had it for a while, probably by searching "Oled phone wallpaper".

I got it from reddit a few years ago. I think it was the infrared veiw of the center of our galaxy, rotated

Closeup picture of one of our hens. They have such cool patterns and colors.

Bonus:

Shot them myself.

Mine is the derpiest of deeps. I love her more than everything.

No clue where it came from. I’ve been using this for about four years now.

Mine is a shot of our yard in the dark

Lock screen

Home screen (i applied a black tint since i had trouble reading white text against it)

I got them from lurking r/wallpaper though I wish i knew more of their original sources

From https://lemmy.ca/c/wallpapers

It's a photo i took of one of those big ass beams where boats "park" on a foggy but very blue early morning, during a time in my life i was leaving at night on little "suicide walks" with my camera.

It's not a very great or visual photograph, i put a teal filter over it as it's my wife's favorite color and photography sort of saved me while my wife saved me the first time i got lost in this suicidal rut.

Covid really screwed us over (it wasn't just covid, right before we tried to buy a house after years of saving with the help of friends we trusted but shouldn't have), no income, no house, no safety net...just a backpack and a fresh start during the worst possible time ever.

I got so lost in having no faith left that the job interview i did manage to land, i needed someone to pick me up halfway and take me there...i just collapsed and believed i wouldn't get out of this hole. I never got that job but being at the bottom of the pit only leaves you with one direction to go: up.

And up we went...eventually, very slowly.

I'm not sharing the image as it's mine and mine alone, it's my pain, my struggle, my lesson and my strength.

I might actually have it printed and on my wall someday.

It's a photo I took while out on a walk. A hoverfly on a sunflower.

I try to post interesting shots to mastodon and c/pics and help grow Lemmy and the fediverse.

I drew it, cuz I like pokeymans.

A picture I took from the heights of Pretty River Valley Provincial Park, Ontario, on a rainy Friday afternoon last August, as the clouds rolled across the sky and into the forest

It's a closeup view of the glass on my wood stove. I ran it through a couple filters. The green one is on my lock screen. Then it's the red one when I unlock.

Procedurally generated by an app called Tapet.

I use the blue one for my wallpaper, and the red one for my lock screen.

I've been using a bunch of abstract backgrounds I generated using Midjourney a while ago. This is my current use one.

I got promo wallpaper inspired by game SUPERHOT from the gaming news website.
