The Desktop Challenge

In one of those ‘I wonder what…’ moments we all have from time to time I wondered this eve what folk have as their desktop background.  So let’s see.  Bibliobloggers one and all, take a screenshot of your desktop (if it’s not filthy), post it on your blog, and drop me a note in comments when you’ve so done so I, and others, can take a look.  Mine, you’ll not be surprised to learn, changes fairly regularly.  This one at present is of beautiful downtown Chester, UK (taken at last year’s SOTS meeting).  So what’s on your desktop?  Kittens (you depraved reprobates) or puppies (a little better than kittens but not much) or your room or workspace or what?

Make your confession.
