The one I have up now my husband saw it and sent it to me. He said it reminded him of the way I looked when we met years ago.

have you not got one of you years ago when you met your husband that you could use ?

 

[JaniceM]

No there was a mix up...different Ike

Oh, I didn't know there was more than one.
The Ike I'd asked about posted recently.

yes I know, he'd not posted for a while then someone contacted him and he came on and stated that he wasn't the Ike who died...

It's comforting to see that picture on the left, because when I look at the ugly beggar, I say to myself, "Y'know what Tim, that fella looks just like me and a bit like you too."

 

[Ceege]

Just me, if I were a cat, with my hot chocolate, books, and reading glasses.
Oh, and a smug look on my face.

 

[Murrmurr]

Mine's from an 8"x11" studio portrait taken either on my 60th birthday or Father's Day that same year, I don't remember. I just remember all 3 of my kids were here all at the same time, and they're in it.

(edit: ok, Michelle just told me it was taken on my 60th b'day, and given to me the following Father's Day. anyway, it's officially 6yrs old)

What? I thought that is you!

I finally chose an avatar picture to use, and now I will have some confusion recognizing my own posts.
Perhaps some of you will have that same difficulty.

I wanted to explain what it is, and why I chose it, just for general interest and sharing,

and I invite any of YOU who would like to, to tell us about yours, as well, in this thread !

Mine is a portion of a beautiful photograph, by artist Eva Kondzialkiewicz, who was born in Poland and resides in British Columbia, Canada, which is near the West Coast. (Pacific Ocean region)

This photograph is called, Blue Anemone Flower Blowing in the Wind.
This lovely blue flower is in the Poppy family.

She took this photo, at the flower gardens of Stanley Park, there in Vancouver, Canada.
She also does drawings and oil paintings.

I myself, chose this, because i love both Nature and Art.

And this particular one of a blowing outdoor, blue wildflower, appeals to me.

Your turn?

Here I am quoting my own original post for starting this thread, which I posted in October of 2019!
Some of you haven't ever seen it/ read it,
and the rest of you have definitely forgotten my explanation of my avatar and why I chose it!

I have the same avatar, and the same silly sense of humor, that I did then.

I am a fiber artist that works in felting wool yarns via crochet technique. I call it “I’m a Little Nuts”.

Mine is a picture I took of a DayLilly in my mothers yard. When she gave up living alone and moved in with me I transplanted it to my yard.

 

[Right Now]

My avatar is a photo of me on vacation in Manchester, England meeting online friends from a different forum in 2018! I was choosing a beer in a Wetherspoon, never heard of the beer or the pub!

 

[dseag2]

My avatar is me doing my absolute favorite thing... walking by the lake near our house. I should just replace it with a "frowny face" because it has been too hot to walk by the lake since late May.

My big tuna! Caught last year in Louisiana, 132 pounds.

 

[Pinky]

I used to have this avatar up, but it gave me a green puke-y tinge. It was taken in my daughter's former bedroom. Never tell your kid "you can paint your room any colour you want"



A more recent avatar .. kind of fuzzy.

 

[Flarbalard]

Mine was posted in another thread by someone here. I think it looks just like me (actually better) so I pinched it. Ever since I got these glasses my Mrs. has take to calling me Peabody.

Here's part of the documentary about Mr. Peabody and Sherman. It was quite a story.

I used to love that show.

Mine, was a tv interview I did , about American idol, and my Book.

Thanks for this one! It made my day!

My wife and I have an RV on a lake in the Adirondacks. Every year we watch The Long Long Trailer with Lucy and Desi.
As a matter of fact, it was so cold and windy this past weekend we watched it Saturday night. While this photo is not from the movie, they just look like they're having so much fun. Kind of like us when we're at the lake.

 

[Oris Borloff]

I couldn't find a better picture of it. The watch brand is Oris.

My current Avatar is from a scene in the 1948 Classic "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" staring Humphrey Bogart.

 

[Doste]

Mine is a photograph of the cafeneion 'O Tsinari' in the Old Town of Thessaloniki, Greece. When I went to live in Greece in 1984 I lived very close to this and would often go in. In more recent years I've been back there with my friends, although it's now a while since my last trip.

 

[hollydolly]

It's going to be funny reading this thread in a years' time, and wonder why I was describing myself as a little fat pumpkin...

6 years ago is when I wrote this.... and the reason was because it was halloween and I had a picture of a pumpkin as my avatar....

The picture on the left in lemon dress.. is me a few years ago in Spain

 

[Warrigal]

My avatar is actually myself two years ago at our 60th wedding anniversary.
