Finding Avatars

cheriere — Tue, 13 Feb 2024 23:10:10 GMT

Just wondering where some of you find your avatars? I picked a picture of a rainbow I'd taken last year, but by the time it got resized it just didn't look right. So, I decided to use another pic I'd taken of a butterfly landing on a white peach from a tree in my yard. It came out okay. Practically all of my pics were taken with my old iPhone so I wasn't sure how they'd look lol. But I think they're gonna work.

If I may, please do not pick one with any movement. They can be very troublesome. Thank you.

Yes, I'm just going to stick with photos from my own library.

@cheriere @Yahooey found mine for me. I love it because he is such a happy guy. I am a tortoise living in a world full of hares. It is my perfect avatar.

I hadn't noticed that it sparkled. But I always know that it's you. That's one of the reasons I've been wanting to get an avatar. For me, at least, I like to put a name to an avatar lol.

@cheriere your beautiful blue butterfly avatar is lovely

@MoJoV Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your taking the time to say so. It's harder than I thought to find a picture to cut down to fit that still looks right. Maybe one day I'll get brave enough to use an actual picture of myself...but that's certainly not today lol.

@cheriere I think the picture you are using is beautiful. I had asked SharkE where she found hers as I really liked that it moved. I found mine on the internet but can't remember the site any longer.

@Still Raining May I ask you what is troublesome with moving avatars? My question is sincere.

Mine is a picture of DH and me last July on our bus trip to NYC.

I just Google the subject I want and then click on Images at the top of that page.

For my current one, I Googled cat face clip art and then Images.

Your own avatar is beautiful. 8)

I especially love the vibrant blue and green together, my favorite colors.

Hi, @SaveTheTurtles

I think that for some of our friends here that are coping with medical issues, moving avatars can trigger migraines, ceizures, and possibly other things that I don't know.

@cheriere I love the blue butterfly on the peach! Very pretty. As for my avatar, several years ago when avatars were starting to be a 'thing', someone had a site that you could choose from a number of features and then plug in all of your facial features, hair, etc. to your likeness, along with different backgrounds. We all seemed to have a lot of fun doing it and it stuck. Of course, these kinds of avatars make you look like you're 20 years old... So, if I may formally introduce myself, here is a picture of me with my daughter having fun when we had our boat docked at a marina when my husband was still living. That was about 10 years ago. Any likeness to the avatar? Lol
