What's on Your Phone Homescreen?

So I have my son's picture on my lockscreen AND on my homescreen (ya know, the wallpaper/background of my phone). I think that most people put something that's near and dear to them on the screen (photos of kids) if able to put photos. I am trying not to take my husband's background personally - since there is no photo of our son, nor a photo of me on there. Instead? A picture of his gun and his fav beer.

So curious - what's on your phone's wallpaper? What's on your husband's/significant other's?

Thanks!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

I love what I read so far. Looks like some men just dont' care too much about their phones. My husband did have, for the longest time, just a plain default picture. I like the idea that many of y'all have favorite photos, even if they are 5 years old. And I also like the idea of changing it per your mood. I change my backgrounds often. Right now my lock-screen is a two-yr old Halloween pic of my son (so cute!) Have a great day! I will not take my husband's pictures personally. :)

I love Dr Who so mine is the Tardis and when you open my phone it's the inside of the Tardis. I also bought the sticker that goes around the iPhone so it looks like the Tardis. Yeah... I like Dr. Who... because I like bow ties, bow ties are cool. ;)

mine; homescreen = pix of daugther as a toddler riding a carousel (sp?) horse & waving at me with my husband standing next to her, lock screen = pix of my same daughter drinking her very last bottle reclining in a lazy boy style chair.

hubs = don't know? I think it's just a generic screen. It's not an actual pix. Probably Batman or something, he's such a nerd sometimes :)

I love to garden, and I have a picture of a beautiful purple flower that has just bloomed for the first time in my backyard. I don't even know what it's called, but it's gorgeous! My mom gave me the plant for Mother's Day, and it's a beautiful plant, but she told me it's hard to grow. The plant has thrived, but has just now bloomed. I love it!

My husband has a picture of me on his phone homescreen. :)

I change my pic quite often ~ most of the time it's my kids, but sometimes its completely random.

My husband has a picture of a nice buck on his. I've never thought about it enough to think it was odd he didn't have one of the kids.

Too funny! I never thought about it. My lock screen is a photo of my grandma who raised me, she passed two years ago and I love seeing her face all the time. She was 17 in the picture and its beautiful. Before that it was a favorite picture of my kids. My husbands is a generic background pic, and I don't think he would know how to change it if he wanted to!

Mine is my oldest two boys looking so cute in a pumpkin patch :) My hubby's is the generic one I think, but sometimes it is one of the boys or this one of our wedding that he has always liked. But I think men are just so different (said a mouthful there I know!) and I would try not to make too much of it ;)

Good luck to you and yours.

hahaha! sound like my husband. He had our hunting dog as his screen saver for more than a year.

Mine has been a picture of my husband and I at our wedding (from 11 years ago). I took it a picture of a picture for 10years and put on FB. I have used as my phone screen saver ever since.

It helps remind me just how much in love i was (and am) with this crazy, hunting, beer loving goof ball of a man:)

Mine is one of my sons. On BF's its me, unless he changed it to the dog and his hunting catch... I feel that wall papers are like your personality. You can change them with the mood. If hubby wants a beer and to go shooting well that is his mood. Wallpapers are changable and not really to be read into.

I have a photo of a hard boiled egg with a face drawn on it that my 16 year old daughter named "Eggbert" and brought home with us in the car from Colorado to Texas. He has been there for a couple of years now and you'd be amazed at how many of the kids' friends and parents say "Oh, it's Eggbert!"
My husband has a kid picture because that kid put it there. Otherwise it would be a default pic.

Mine is a pic of my kids with some martial arts trophies right after they won them. It changes periodically... usually something with the kids though. Or a nice green calm scene that came on the phone (because the colors make it easy to read the text/time symbols on the screen).

My husband's was what came on it, until I uploaded some pictures for him. Then he took one of the kids with the dog at the beach, and one of the kids made it his background after that.
His camera doesn't work anymore, so he can't take any more pictures and I doubt he'll ever change the background. LOL

husband is our son on a tractor....on a hunting trip (nod to your husbands beer and guns).
in the past he has had random things like armadillo, car, funny sign. anything. i think guns and beer would be a sign of protecting his family and manly beer! i bet your picture is up when the phone rings!!!
