Free Desktop Backgrounds and Wallpapers to match your personality

How would you describe your personality? Would a bland blue screen do it?

No? Yet millions of us have the standard blue screen background that came when we first installed our computer. We have hobbies like fishing, sports and scrapbooks. We have love movies, books and art. We proudly display our family and travel photographs on our desks and throughout our house. We decorate our homes and offices to showcase our personalities.

Yet our computers - most likely how we spend most of our work and many of our personal hours - remain solid color blue.

You can find beautiful free desktop backgrounds and wallpapers online. There are many websites where you can download free photo backgrounds, beautiful nature backgrounds, 3D backgrounds, animal backgrounds, futuristic backgrounds, space wallpaper, artistic backgrounds, animated backgrounds, airplane wallpaper and thousands of other choices.
