Lily of the Valley Desktop Wallpaper

A few days ago, I took a walk in the woods behind our home to see what was going on there. Since it is spring, some trees and flowers are in bloom. Some of the flowers are so dainty that they are hard to see.

I came across some lily of the valley plants that were in bloom. I planted them a long time ago on a pet's grave. I took a few blind photos of the flowers and some of them turned out okay. I've made computer wallpaper from two angles of the lily of the valley flower photos.

Like last time I did this, I made 4 wallpaper images based on the 4 common monitor ratios. I made each ratio based image in the largest know-to-me monitor resolution.

What to do: [instructions based on Windows]
Find your resolution:
Right-Click your desktop: Choose Properties > Settings --look at your resolution-- press Cancel

Find your monitor resolution dimensions in the lists below. Make the image in that group your wallpaper.. Look at it and ask yourself-- Did it fit?
If the image it too large [or small], do this:
Right-Click your desktop: Choose Properties > Desktop > Stretch > OK
This ought to make the image fit your monitor- and since it is the right ratio, it should not be distorted.
