What is your avatar/profile photo? Does it have a particular meaning to you?
Mine is a picture of me when I was 3 years old, vacationing at Daytona Beach, FL with my mom and dad. I've always liked that picture, so I decided to use it.

Mine is my 3 dc at the San Francisco cathedral ruins in Antigua. We go there a lot to nature journal and there's great tunnels and caves they can climb around in. It's a fun spot!

Mine is me. The photo was taken at a photo shoot I had done to showcase my face painting designs. The photographer took dozens of photos of the designs I painted on various children and then looked at me and said, "okay, your turn". :001_huh: I was NOT expecting to have my picture taken. But, it was fun. And, the pictures turned out pretty well and dh really likes this one. He saved it as his screen saver at work. :)

Mine is a picture I took of my two daughters walking along a trail at Burney Falls National Park. It's a great picture. It isn't very clear, so I will probably change it sometime.

Mine is when I got to see Obama up close and shake his hand. It was a huge thrill, not so much b/c it was Obama, but b/c he is a real-life Presidential candidate. I'm the one in the pink shirt and glasses.
I rotate my avatars between that one and these (sorry they're so HUGE; I don't know how to make them smaller):

You can change it... as long as it is another picture of Amelie. :D In my mind, you and Amelie are the same person, so if you change your avatar, I will be very confused. :confused: (She sounds like Jenny, but she doesn't look like Jenny.)

My avatar pic is a view of Mount Baker, as seen from the islands in Puget Sound. I use it on my photo blog, too, since it goes with the whole Ski to Sea theme (the name of my blog). I really like it when people use pics of themselves as avatars, but I'm so partial to this lovely view of Baker, I put my own photo in my profile.:)

Mine is a painting by 18th century painter Jean-Honore Fragonard called "The Reader". I identify with this painting because I have painted a number of portraits of women, so I really love the piece. I also relate to the image because as I homeschool my dd I am starting to read again, which I'm hoping will lead to the joys that I experienced when I was young reader. My actual photo is with my profiile.
Good question. Thanks for asking!
Blessings,

Mine is a picture of me that my husband took in February when he bought a new camera. I am not very photogenic, and it took several dozen photos before we got one that didn't make me gag. My younger son, on the other hand, looks like a professional model in any picture taken of him ever. So lucky.

The one way out in front is TBOM -- I'm always telling him to slow down and wait up for the rest of us. The one way at the back is Princess Honey Baked, and the two in the middle are the Goose and the Flea. If I wanted to be really accurate, I'd put the Goose way at the back, since I'm always telling her to hurry up.
I've thought about adding an egg to the picture to represent the new ds, but haven't gotten around to it.
Mine is the beautiful Gulf of Mexico--I've grown up around here and have so many great memories of the Florida coast. I'm still not brave enough to use a picture of myself. ;)

I was inspired by this thread to add one today! Ds and I went blueberry picking yesterday, so naturally he wants to eat blueberries with every meal.
Today he had a friend over who isn't quite as enamored with blueberries as my son is, which reminded me that for ds and blueberries it was love at first bite! So I dragged out the photo albums to find some pictures of him with blueberry face.
(On a side note, since he's only 7 it isn't embarrassing for Mom to bring out the baby pictures. He still enjoys it!)

Mine is a butterfly on a hydrangea. I'm anticipating that change from caterpillar to butterfly. "Some glad morning when this life is over I'll fly away!" Also, hydrangeas are my favorite flower. I have 8 different ones currently, or maybe 9 I cannot remember. I love them dearly and cannot wait until they fully bloom and I can start bringing them fresh into the house.
