I don't have tea on my computer screen, but what a good thought. Perhaps one of Sal's great pix.

Mmmmm, no, a lizard. You may have identified an area that requires improvement, Chip.

Nope for me either. The closest I have to it is a few shots on photobucket and stealing Salsero's Red Rose one. :wink:

EW who's hating Friday nights at work...

I would guess in your case it would be similar to picking which one is the favorite kid, huh? :lol:

My current wallpaper had been a picture from Pikmin2:

(Not tea related, but it is green anyway)

But since I had have recently bought a new computer with a larger screen, I need to find a new one with a adequate resolution.

O-buku cha this morning.

Cute and funny and green. Good combination.

This is mine. Not tea-related as such, but it reminds me of tea, and just generally gives me good vibes. You can just about spot Chip's TeaCave:

Its springtime atmosphere is especially nice when this is the view out one's bedroom window, like today:

Having some White Symphony right now.

Nope. Venture Bros logo for my laptop, and nothing for my desktop.

Oh, I don't know... I bet Pikmin make a wonderful tasting tea.

:twisted:

Nothing tea themed here. I currently have a stock photo of a small pier heading out toward the ocean at dusk.

I am currently working my way through a bunch of pu-erh samples from netsurfr and the B&B group buy. Today is a 2000 Fu Hai 7536 Green Mark sheng. I was a bit disappointed with yesterday's 1998 Lincang, but the first cup of this Fu Hai so far is kicking around some flavor in the deeper register that has me intrigued. I must press on. . ..!

I don't at the moment, I currently have a picture of my favorite daughter.

However, I have in the past used a few of Teanerd's wallpaper for my laptop as well as my iPhone.

Drinking a pot of Mangalam Full-Leaf Assam this morning with my oatmeal and watching Private Practice. I have to stop watching things that make me cry before work. Or just stop getting irrationally emotional over TV shows. >_<

Not tea-related right now, but it certainly has been in the past. I have my tea stuff on my IRL desktop, so there isn't much reason for me to put it on my computer desktop too. :)

Shuweet shot of my "home." Oh, and White Symphony is awesome white!!!

My desktop, I promised the vendor who allowed me to use it,
that I would keep it for personal use only since he did not want it spread all over the internet,
and it is copyrighted. So, unfortuantely, I cannot share it.
It is of course Mt. Fuji with luscious, manicured tea fields in the foreground.
It is quite stunning.

In my cup, a tea grown within site of Mt Fuji, Den's Zuiko. Delicious.
SweeTea approved, but Pyrit, TEAh, and Wulong were completely disinterested. :D :arrow:

A FF Darjeeling from TeaSource to start my day.

I always have a tea related photo on my desktop.

I'm pressed for time, getting ready for the LA TeaChat Meet, or I'd show you!!
