Add dynamic desktop picture to Safari start page background

How can I add my dynamic Big Sur desktop picture to my Safari start page background? I had it set up like that but erroneously dragged a jpeg onto the start page back ground now I can't get the dynamic Big Sur desktop picture back in place. Only the static Big Sur picture is available.. Is there a way to make the start page look transparent? I forgot what I originally did but now I'm frustrated that I can't get the look I like back. Any helpful ideas, I'd appreciate it!

MacBook Air 11″, macOS 11.4

From the start page, click the Menu button from the bottom-right corner of the screen. Now, check the box next to the “Background Image” option.

Here, you can scroll horizontally to see bundled background images. Click an image to instantly turn it into the start page’s background image.

Thank you. The odd thing thing is I had it set up like that for like a year until I accidentally dragged a jpeg over the start page and it became the background then I deleted it. I forgot how I set up the start page to have the same dynamic background as my desktop. I was cool, it looked transparent. I'll try to figure it out, thanks. I must've read a tip somewhere.

I found this article online... it did not work for my start page. Only the Big Sur still image is available. I want the Big Sur dynamic image (turns night to day)... that's my desktop picture.
