I thought it would be nice to have a thread where we can talk about the different avatars (especially if they are photographs) we chose and why. Many of us change avatars often, so try to post a photo of your current avatar...
I'll go first.
My current avatar of the beautiful leaves was taken last week as I drove to Frankfort, KY. The ride sure was beautiful with lots of colorful leaves. This was one of many photos I took.

I chose my "moody muse" from a collection of drawings that I identify with. In larger renderings the word "enough" appears under the image. It is appropriate to my life in more ways than I can describe.

Well, rileysmom uses pictures of me as her avatars, so I went with what I am. For those who believe in reincarnation (I don't for the record), I was a pirate at one time. For those who don't but dig geneaology, I've had sailors, pirates, soldiers, patriots, seafaring celts, and ass kicking ancestors, so I went with a pirate theme.

That's tough. I liked of of them, but for different reasons. Gary wins at the sheer absurdity of situational comedy, but Watterson could paint a beautiful picture using childlike wit to look at the world.

Capitalist, I can't thank you enough for explaining that. All this time I thought it was a little strange face surrounded by wild black hair and leaves. Seriously.
Mine is of my namesake from the HP movies, but I probably should change it.

A truly fantastic thread... Thanks for starting it! My avatar is none other than my now three legged best friend. He had gone through an amputation a little over a year ago. He was diagnosed with bone cancer and sad to say he lost a leg, went through chemo. But I still have him so it was a small price to pay for my buddies love...

Well you maybe one of those people that can ride and pay attention to what is going on around them... I am just too scared of them... My goofy brother who is the epitome o concentration was riding his on 7th and a car almost hit him... Between the massive bruise on his leg that swole to the size of a basketball and the ER Doctor not properly treating it he almost bled to death on the ride home... Freak accident yes... Some people call me a freak though so freak accidents would certainly happen to me... I do believe those who ride started at an early enough age for it to become second nature for them...
