My avatar is from one of my favorite PS1 game, Final Fantasy 8. It's name is Tonberry King, I made it my avatar because I find it moving all the time and I like mine to be different from others too.
So, can you tell the story behind your avatar? Why did you prefer to choose it here? What does it symbolizes for?

My avatar is me and my youngest daughter in the river gold panning. This was a couple of summers ago. The whole family had a ball even though the water was icy cold. It was about 92 degrees that day. The river usually never gets warm as it comes from the melting of the snow. :)

I panned for gold in Coloma, CA where the gold rush began back in the mid 1800's I believe. It's very historic and we all had a great time.

It's me, in the picture.(",) I just wanted my mylot to be more personal that's why I posted my very own photo. That was taken in Agutayan Island in Misamis Oriental. It's a very small island, all made of sand. You can really see both ends and even if its high tide the island still exists. The place is part of a marine sanctuary. It was the first time that I'd seen big and colorful starfish from that place.
Opps..I'm talking too much when all that you are asking is about the avatar..I got carried away.hehehe..(",)

I think you made a good comment, and one that will help this discussion. Neat memories.

My avatar is my cat Humphrey. He's been with me for almost nine years since the day he was born. He's made a nice little avatar but I'm thinking of giving him a rest and using a favorite painting as my avatar but I haven't been able to get a good picture yet. If I do change Humphrey, it'll only be temporary. I'm sure I'll bring him back eventually.

My avatar is of our 2 year old Siberian Husky. Tara is such a sweetie, so full of life. She is still very much the puppy. Love taking her out for long walks in the woods.

My avatar is a photo of me on stage playing my bass for some charity gig. I use it because it is me.

My current avatar is a picture of my newest grandbaby and hubby and I when she was just a week old. She is over a year now, and I will certainly need to make another avatar sometime soon. It was just a pic that I had available, and it showed two people I love, with me, of course. Thanks for the info about yours. I like this kind of question, I hope you get a lot of responses, I am curious as well.

i always put my own picures as my avatar but now i put a photo of my foot under the sky.
i took this photo when i was at the park and got nothing to do so i lay down and took a picture of the sky and accidentally my hand slip and capture my foot instead.
i love the photo though a bit dark cause i set it without a flash.

Mine is the Cheshire Cat from the latest Alice In Wonderland animated film...(well obviously!). I saw it ages ago and something prompted me to save it. It's been sitting in my pictures folder all this time. My original avatar was of an eclipse at the North Pole, but the small size didn't do it justice. Then I stumbled across this one day and it just fits me; cheeky, colourful, over the top and look how well it goes with the colours in my profile...that was a fluke! I think it goes well with my mystical user name as well (MsTickle) because the Cheshire Cat could disappear and reappear at will leaving just his smile. If that isn't mystical and doesn't tickle your funny bone then nothing does. ;)

Well mine is one of a few that I made online last year or so when I had my hair short and purple. I picked that one because I am often running around barefoot and bed is one of the places I like to spend some time. I would have used an actual picture of myself but I would much rather see this one on the left-hand side and next to my posts all the time lol.

Mine is a photo I took on the coast of Maine, USA, where I go on vacation sometimes in summers. It's a small fishing village with one general store, and the place I stay is a small cottage without Internet access or a TV. It's very peaceful, and the exact opposite of sitting typing at the computer all day!

I change mine every couple of weeks or so, but the one that I have right now is of Ogre, lead singer for one of my favorite band, Skinny Puppy. I also use a lot of horror movie images and posters and I have one of myself (whic may actually fall into the horror category...LOL)

My avatar is my beautiful one year old grandson, Caleb.
He is actually *singing* to a singing stuffed animal. One of the best pictures that we ever took!
Isn't he beautiful?

Mine is just a photo I took of a place I like to ride my bicycle too and picnic during the summer. I am thinking of changing it soon, though, so this answer may not make sense in a day or 2!
