What’s On Your Background?

Capital One’s popular tag line is, “What’s in your wallet?” and that got me thinking. And thinking has lead to this post. My question is simple and two fold.

  1. What’s on your background on your computer?
  2. Why is it there?

I’ll start things off with the current background image on my travel laptop.

Macaw in Flight

And as for why it’s there…..I took this picture while on a recent trip to Peru. I had never seen macaws in the wild before and the vivid colors of their feathers against the green canopy of the rainforest amazed me. Being able to capture this one in flight (as well as having it positioned in the frame so it doesn’t interfere with other desktop icons) is a reminder of that trip and my sense of wonder that I hope to never lose.

Ok, it’s your turn! Post a link to your background picture in the comments section below and then let us know why it’s there.
