Mine is simply a picture of myself and one of my great grandchildren.

Jerry's is actually a picture of Ralph. :)

Mine is an autographed picture of Al Gore. I collect autographs and I met Al when he came to a local Borders for a booksigning. He wouldn't sign anything but his book, so I took the signature from my book and scanned it, then photoshopped it onto the picture.

I've been partial to armadillos since high school (and I didn't even live in Texas at the time) -- bought a figurine of some sort (brass, probably). It wasn't long before everybody gave me armadillo figurines, tee shirts, you-name-it, for any present-giving occasion (now, some 25 years later, I still get the occasional armadillo -- just got a nifty one last week from my niece). There's a lesson in here, somewhere.

I made a bitmap for my shareware "company" that showed an armadillo at a writing desk with a quill, inkwell, etc. I adapted that one to be playing a whistle when I got into whistles -- the rest is history.
At the end of it all, I want to be told "Well done". I don't want to _be_ well done!

Mine is a sign that used to be hanging by the front door of our house. We had a cat that swiped at the mailman and chased a dog up the street that some people were walking.

Mine is an art piece of fantasy origin from a favorite fantasy genre artist Jodi Lee and author Tanya Huff. For me it's a reminder that in my fantasy of playing whistle, anything's possible.

Well, I'm a piper, and rather hairy... :lol:

I fell in love with this pic when I saw it on a fellow piper's web page, so I appropriated it!!

Cheers,

Playing around with Photoplus, trying to make an image that represents "Innocent Bystander".

A figure reaches into its jacket <atmosphere tenses>

and pulls out an object. <tension builds>

It's a whistle. <anticlimax>


What's more it's a generation, and I tend to play my own PEX pipe models.

Tell us something.: I play flute, whistle and harp and have been a member on this board for many years. I have tended to be a lurker recently and just posted a response for the first time in quite awhile.

Mine is a heron fishing in my backyard. He was the epitome of patience- still as a stump until a nice frog came along. I think he's moved on. Wonder if that's why my neigbors now have a screen over their koi?

Mine (which I just uploaded) is the cover of the book I wrote called King Artie and the Knights of the Brown Table. My sister did the illustrations, and I put it all together.

Mine is... well... um... pretty much self-explanatory.

Fox is my guardian spirit. According to the Nez Pierce, your guardian spirit is also what you are. In the Nez Pierce Coyote stories, Fox was Coyote's friend who gave him tactful suggestions that would have kept him out of trouble, if Coyote had bothered to use them. I guess that makes me Coyote's straight man.

Mine is one of our goats. It has changed a couple times, but always just to another one of our goats. This one's name is Galahad.
