Living Wall is a small Mac menu bar app that puts a live wallpaper on your desktop, and the wallpaper can grow around your real desktop icons.

In one paragraph

Living Wall draws a living scene on the Mac desktop: a plant wall, a beach or a meadow. It runs with no account and no permissions. If you turn on icon following, each desktop icon gets its own island, pool or cloud, and the scene follows the icon when you drag it. Finder still handles every click and drag. The website is a working copy of the idea: on a Mac, the page is a desktop that you can drag.
