Hurray! Your May 2023 wallpaper/calendar is ready to download!
It’s May! And you may already know that in my life, May is about lilacs. My fascination with lilacs began back in elementary school, when we had lilacs in our backyard and I was hosting a party for my classmates. I had decorated our party room profusely with those beautiful (and very fragrant) flowers. But then many years elapsed during which I lived in regions where lilacs didn’t grow very well… until I eventually ended up in the northwest. And lilacs came back into my life. And I think I’ve featured lilacs for our May wallpaper/calendar ever since I began designing these almost 7 years ago!
My monthly desktop wallpaper & calendar offers you a pretty seasonal picture to customize and brighten your computer monitor. But that’s not all. It also includes a handy monthly calendar, and you’ll find my web address listed at the bottom. (Note that the address isn’t clickable; you’ll have to type it into your browser). This monthly wallpaper design is FREE to download and install, so please don’t hesitate to share this page with your friends and family.
How to download & install your May 2023 Wallpaper/Calendar
Note: You’ll probably want to consult your own computer operating system’s installation instructions, but installing the background image on my Windows 10 system took just 3 quick steps – and less than a minute. It’s super-duper easy-peasy! (Windows 11 seems to work pretty much the same way, as well.)
Here’s how you can (probably) do it, too.
- Decide which version you’d like to download. (For newer, larger monitors, you’ll probably prefer the higher-res version.) If you’d like to download the higher-res version of this wallpaper/calendar, left-click here and this month’s image should open. (It might take a few moments to fully appear.) Locate and select the download option (probably somewhere near the upper-left of your screen) and save the image to your computer, renaming it as you wish. OR… if you’d prefer the standard-resolution version, left-click here to open the image. Then right-click on the image and save it to your computer, renaming it as appropriate.
- Once the file has been downloaded, named, and saved, click on your saved image to open it.
- Once open, right-click on the image and select “Set as” > “Set as Background”….. then right-click on the image again and select “Set as” > “Set as Lock screen”. And poof! That’s all there is to it! (For convenience, I recommend you install this on both your desktop system and your laptop. Assuming you still have such things these days, of course!)
Tips for other operating systems:

Finally, please keep in mind that the format of my monthly image is designed for most modern-day 16:9 monitors (a common format for monitors and HD TV’s since about 2009), oriented in landscape format. (If your monitor displays 1920 x 1080 pixels, or 2560 x 1440 pixels, it should work fine.) If you’re working with an older monitor (and/or one that’s more square-ish in format), or your monitor is set up in portrait format or some other variation, the picture will likely not work for you. And unfortunately, I am unable to trouble-shoot individual systems’ incompatibility challenges. Sorry!
