Computer Backgrounds
This is my current screen background - I'd wager there are some interesting backgrounds being used by members of this forum.
The librarian is one I use when engaged in an in-depth search mode to warn my wife away from my computer and the B/1/10 photo is a nostalgic memory of years gone by which gets used a couple of times a year.
Anybody wanna share? 
Richard

And this is my "usual"...a candid shot of my nephew at the Korean War Memorial a few years ago.

For the last six years, I have used the uncompressed version of the attachment.
I obtained the original from the art department when I worked at software firm. ("Oh, by the way, when you're done with those logos--which, by the way, I need ASAP--would you mind sending me...")
The brushed aluminum is used as part of the UI of one of the firm's products. (Also, it reminds me that, one day, I too will own a Mac Book Pro. The art department was always the happiest place to be in the salt mines and I think the fact that they used Macs had something to do with their cheerful disposition. Heck, when they yelled at me, they did so with smiles on their faces. "Hey, don't shoot the messenger, I found out about this two minutes ago...I'm on your side...so, do you think you can have it ready after lunch...?  ")

Screen saver
I use a real-time dynamic image of Earth continuously updating in the background. With 3 maps, 11 projections and 10,000 cities. You can chose a political map or satellite image. You can also choose where you center it and projection (Van Der Grinten, Miller, Azimuthal etc..).

Two past desktops: my kid, and his AO in 2007.

Here are my last three.
My second oldest (of four), my three oldest (the youngest wasn't around yet and is now 6 months old), and me and a buddy in Asadabad, Afghanistan in 2002.
