The story of your picture

my picture is from an arts and crafts festival last fall. they had one of those associations there that rehabilitate birds of prey. you could get your photo taken with the eagle and the money went towards the program. so of course I had to do it. and yes, she is a real bird! LOL her beak was literally three inches from my nose. kinda scary to think about being THAT close to an eagle's wicked sharp beak. if you look REALLY close though at my profile page where the photo is biger, I think you can see the fist of the handler. that's what she was sitting on.

I have a thing about posting pictures of myself. Besides the point I hate my picture being taken, I'm a very private person. I do have an avatar I use when chatting on YIM. I'm using a picture of Melbourne.

The idea I had in mind was that of the eyes being the window to the soul and 'your story'.  What I ended up with was kind of a bunch of 'blair witchish' pics and this was the best so far, lol. I didn't want 'cardboard gal' on here anymore so I changed to this, but I am fickle..l may change it again...

My Picture is one of my cats Bubbles. She is trying to figure out what is going on with our latest cat Seven. Shes rather fat and I loved this perticular picture. She also does this pose when shes trying to clean her belly. I think she looks like a groundhog lol. It just happens to be one of my favorite pictures.

I fly to Calgary to pick up my new puppy Feb 3rd and fly back with her Feb 4th.

 The 3 pups you see(all females & 8 weeks old in the pic) are all from the same litter, and of the two on the right.., one weighs 2 pounds & the other is 2 pounds, 1 ounce...and one of the two puppies on the right will be mine.  I'm excited, can you tell.

The breeder of course gets pick of the litter(1st best pup), and i get the 2nd best pup...but both of these pups are so close to being identical(show quality wise), that the breeder is having a really hard time picking which one she wants.

She's wishing she hadn't been so hasty in telling me to book my flight, before she'd had them all structurally tested...as now she'd like to grow them up a little more to see which way the two are going to go.

is of my Shadow, my baby.  She's much more photogenic than I, so I use her picture.  That and the fact that I don't like the idea of having my picture floating around the internet. :wink:

right now I have a picture of a saloon because it was the only one that was accepted because of size I have another that was just sent to me but I need to download it and this week I'm at my sisters and using the dbil's computer so don't want to do any downloading on it so until at least Monday I'll be a saloon.

My picture is of... Silver Fire.   I did an internet search and found it a couple months ago.  It's part of a necklace that I cropped and edited. 

I actually wanted to use something else as my avatar, but like others said, the pics were too small.  This one was too, but I put it in Paint and enlarged it.

No, I don't want to be a saloon! I want a pic that's the right size! At least I found a rose! Maybe you should have looked elsewhere? A saloon indeed!

P 

Mine is the only picture of me I could get small enough. Though it's a little fuzzy and I may change it. i couldn't find my avatar that I had on the old site. Guess I didn't have it saved on this computer. And I have a hard time getting others pics small enough to use here. I like seeing everyone's different pictures, whether it shows them or their personality. lol

Here for 13+ years and I STILL never think to make iced tea before people come over.  And sweet tea?  FORGET IT!  I have NO idea how they make sweet tea.  These two bits of info tell you that I am NOT a southerner of any kind.

But you have reminded me, Cady, that on our first Xmas together, dh made me an ornament with little (miniature) yellow (dried) roses inside (one of those clear plastic ball ones that you can fill yourself) and on the inside of the box wrote that I was his Yellow Rose of TX. So maybe I SHOULD keep it.

Huh! My picture fits me! Who knew!?! Wow! Thanks, Vikki, for starting this conversation!  My picture fits! huh!

Penn (don't tell dh!) dumbfounded (yes, really)

Vicki, The pups are Yorkshire Terriors. They look like  tiny Rotweillers when their puppies, and then slowly change to look like Yorkies as they get older. This is a toy breed and is not to exceed 7 lbs. full grown...we're thinking these two girls will be at most 6 pounds.

But the breeder has a girl she's growing up now, from the some mom...and was the same aprox. size that these pups are when she was that age...and she is now 9 months old and only weighs 4 lbs. 1 ounce.

She's having them weighed and re-assessed again this sunday...and she said maybe one more time before i pick her up. We should have a better idea on size then.

At 8 weeks you triple their weight, to find out how big they'll be full grown...and at 10 weeks you double their weight and add a pound. The pups are 10 weeks this sunday.

More info than you wanted, i know, but my fingers wouldn't quit typing. lol 

Is of Jon Bon Jovi...I'm a huge fan and tend to use his pic as most of my images at website....he's such a sexy man! :)

this is such an interesting forum! love hearing about other people's profile pictures. Since I love food so much, mine is of a tart I had in the food section at Harrods--tasted fan-tastic! One day, Tart and I will meet again...and it'll be a deliciously good time.

It was one of me hanging around that was ONLINE and I didn't look like a total DICK and I deemed it OK for 'pass-around' if need be.

Mine is me and DS#2 during our family vacation last last summer.  It's not crystal clear, and will change to showcase DS#1 when I take the time to do so...

I'm a proud momma...what can I say?

I've chosen this picture as an encouragement to myself and others that all things are possible if you keep determined.  Eight years after I graduated high school I went back to school and completed a Legal Secretary program. With hard work, I walked away with an award for being the fastest typist the school had seen since they opened and with the highest marks my program.

 I use this picture as a reminder that all things are possible if you believe. I went into that program with the mind set of doing the best that I possibly could and not giving up. This is also what I want to do with my writing.

I'm determined not to give up and use that picture as a daily reminder to give my dreams all I have.

There is a quote that I carry with me everywhere

""Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you."

Guess I better wrap up my post, I have a habit of being long-winded at times;)

I hate having my pic taken.  So when friends on eHQN started calling me Marshy, which they shortened from Marshmallow, I found and started using this pic.  LOL

My picture is of my Jack Russell, Valentine.  I took this picture to use when I entered her into a mascot contest, bake sale & goods drive that my department (IT) sponsored at our company to benefit the local Human Society.  It was a rousing success with us raising over $800 and lots of food, litter, toys and treats.  Alas...Valentine did not win although this year I'm going to use the picture with her wearing her antlers at Christmas!  

that would be kitty litter, not the rubish variety!  ... LOL  .... or were you gasping that the Human Society needed the litter? 

great cause is the Humane Society .... they also need towels, small blankets lke baby blankets, soft small cushions to put in the kennels to comfort the kitties and pups 

LOL @ Human Society.

I chose this picture because it looks nothing like I normally look. LOL Normally I'd be scaring folks with the wild hair that has taken over my head. I'd just come from the salon for a trim and my stylist tamed the beast so I had to have proof--and a profile picture was born. I use it on everything now. LOL Chances aren't good that my hair will ever look that sweet again. ROFL

 ROFLMAO!   We have to come up with some way of using 'The Human Society' around here -- on a thread, or  a tag, etc.!
