My iPad home screen image is of our two mules, butia and our dining pergola. The backyard was a long time planning and I had always wanted to create a palmy feel. Having a view of palms while we dined outside was really important. Something about dining under the palms had a tremendous appeal. Having a photo of it I look at everyday just extends the enjoyment of it. What's on your device?

This picture, formatted to fit the desktop. It's a photo I took over the summer of an imperial moth (Eacles imperialis). Wingspan of about 6".

TJ, that moth looks like a female.

Males are about 2/3 the size and redder.

I have this pic as my desktop background at the moment, and its one of my favorites. It was taken on a splendid winter's day back in July 2009 and it shows

''yours truly'' sitting on the North Eastern most point of Middle Percy Island 75klms off the Central Qld Coast. It was taken while on a feral goat cull. Pine Peak and Hotspur Islands are in the distance.

I used to use my avatar for years, now I just use what comes with windows 8, but if I was going to use a photo of choice I would probably use one of these photos by Jeff Searle, of Searle Brothers Nursery, Florida of this Copernicia sueroana, Ed
