- 05/02/11
- 15
With a new month comes a whole new batch of desktop wallpapers, lovingy crafted by some of the readers of this blog. They are all free for you to download, enjoy and install on your computer, iPad, iPhone or other device. Enjoy!
A few notes: 320 x 480 is for your iPhone; 1024 x 1024 is for your iPad; your desktop or laptop may take any of the other sizes depending on your monitor size and a host of other considerations. If you’re not sure of the size, just find one that looks like it would be pretty much the same size as your screen. Generally you set one of these are your wallpaper by clicking on the link to the image, then right-clicking on the image (once it’s open) and selecting “Set as Background,” “Set as Desktop Background,” or something similar.

Holiday at the Sea
Created by Anna Cirlot, Gautier, MS. I took this photo on a mini vacation with my family last week and kept thinking about this quote as my toddler danced through the waves at sunset. How many of us really understand what God is offering us in Christ?

May
Created by Harold Sikkema from Hamilton, Canada. This watery garden consists of photographs of water, pouring into my bathroom sink; arranged, mirrored, colourized — and inspired by the dreary wetness that will spawn dreamy wildflowers.

Those Whose Hearts
Created by Eric Novak from Chicago, IL. The story of the prophet Hanani in 2 Chronicles is very short- basically he speaks God’s message, is thrown in prision and we don’t hear about him again until 1 Kings when his son is mentioned. However, Hanani’s words are a strong encouragment to the modern-day Christian.

Awesome backgrounds! These were great!
Tim, absolutely love this idea; I’ve looked forward to it every month. One request…could you post these a few days before the new month actually begins? Thanks!
Thanks Tim! Really great backgrounds.
I picked the first one by the way. :-)
Loving this, thank you!
Brett - I may begin doing that; I’ll have to see if it’s feasible…
Thanks, Tim!
Hey Tim, I’m getting access denied errors when I click on the links for the first four. The others show up fine…
I look forward to these every month now! Love ‘em.
Thank you so much. I look forward and use them each month.
I look forward to them each month! Thanks for this service. However I too am getting access denied errors.
I don’t get it. I never see my desktop, because of maximized windows. When do you people ever get to enjoy your desktop wallpapers?
Thanks for these lovely wallpapers! And, Tim, I’ve enjoyed your blog for a year now and wanted to thank your for your ministry here on the blogsphere! :)
I love these!!!
It seems that the links for the bottom Wallpaper don’t work.
