I had been using a photo of a bee, as I enjoy shooting macro. But have just changed to an eye of a tree frog... another macro shot. I think it symbolizes keeping my eyes open and looking for a different view of things.

My avatar reflects me in that I like to go on early morning photo shoots. It's my favourite time of day for nature & landscape photography.

This photo was taken of a fellow photographer who couldn't pass up the misty scene. He had stopped on his way to work. The composition was irresistible with the rising sunlight, a photographer & fog rolling in from the lake. I thought it looked cool so I used a crop for my avatar.

Mine is just me. Self portrait while offroading in the Mojave.
I think it was my first self portrait too.

My avatar is Saguaro flowers which is the state flower of Arizona. I love the desert and all of the cactus flowers and wild flowers. I guess that's why I call myself Desert Rose on here!

Mine is Oolong the bunny with a cup on his head. A guy in Japan did a whole series of photos of Oolong posing with different things on his head. (Don't judge, the bunny enjoyed it!) He became an internet phenomenon, you can Google it.
So what does this have to do with me? Maybe my personality is kind of like Oolong's. I'm patient and have a lot on my mind. Could be I just think he is cute and he makes me smile. And I really like that teacup.

Well I hope some one can help me because after about 10 attempts I was unable to load a photo of myself onto DPS. The file is not to big and I do everything they want me to and still all response I get is that the upload was not a success. Please help!

Mine is a shot of a Christmas ornament. I cloned out my own reflection. It was my first acceptable cloning attempt, so I posted it as my avatar. It may be time for me to change it out with something more appropriate to my personality.
