You can get more sophisticated and use software that allows you to choose a list of photos to rotate through as your desktop wallpaper: The rotation can be done on a time basis changing the photo every X minutes or it can be done randomly (the photo is changed to a randomly chosen one every X minutes).

Photos in your screen saver: An idle computer screen can behave in different ways: it can go into standby mode by turning itself off or it can show a photo in full screen or floating around the screen. You can set your screen saver to display a photo that you like ? this way each time you are not using your computer it practically turns into a picture frame for you to enjoy.
