New avatars for Spring

justam

Does anyone else feel like changing their avatar for the new season? :geek:

I thought today would be a good day to change to some flowers!

I tried to change mine Justam, but it didn't work :( First it defaulted to a PJ icon and when I tried to upload a new pic, it went back to the one that I currently have (even though I deleted it). I'm confused :? :P Any suggestions?

Edit: Disregard - apparently it worked :roll:

I had to try twice too.

For some reason it has to go through that extra default icon before it takes the new pictures. :P

(I like the orange flowers you chose.)

Thanks They are tulips from my garden from last year.

Spring is a beautiful time of the year. The rebirth of everything is just so truly amazing...

So does that mean you'll change to some flowers too?

Thanks, you're very thoughtful!
Maybe I'll just go pose in my garden tomorrow.

^^^ That sounds like a good plan.

cool.


i don't understand why it doesn't show on the home page when i sign in, as my old lilypad avatar did. :?: however, we can't view user profiles, etc....so i guess perhaps things are a bit wonky at the moment. who knows...

beautiful flowers everyone!

I love these!!


I'm switching to some begonias today. These look better than the other picture when cropped into a square.

d2d, I noticed the same thing on the main page. The very first picture I put up as an avatar (some trees) is still up on the main page even though the begonias show up here. Something is odd. There is also now a column of *image file is missing comments building up from each time I've attempted to switch the avatar... :?

I like your wave design too!

definitely wonky, AM. when i first changed it, same thing happened: my lilypads stayed up on the main page, tulips became my avatar...and lots of those same image messages as you mention. i actually tried to change it to a different tulip avatar, and that just never happened. :P


btw - if you are making a SPRING avatar....really should use spring flowers, no? purple coneflowers....begonias....all summer blooms.....how about some crocuses, pansies, tulips, or daffodils?

You're more of a gardener than me! I didn't realize the flowers I put up were summer flowers. :?

I'll keep these for a week and then change to another type. I cropped a few other pictures that I like. I'll keep the flowers from getting old in the vase.

Passion flower from my back yard last year.....

Lilacs might be nice to see. They don't grow very well here in Texas.

I haven't changed my avatar yet or been around here much lately because I've been very busy in my garden. Starting a new job next week and I have lots to do now that I won't have all this free time anymore. It's a good problem to have!

But keep posting new flowers, everybody!

Where do you live?

Here in Texas my hellebores have been blooming for weeks. Some of my daffodils bloomed last month and others (jonquils really) are blooming now. My star of Bethlehem are just getting started. Snowdrops also bloomed last month and a little bulb called ipheion that has little blue star shaped flowers. I have a fence that is covered with Carolina jessamine that blooms every February and is very fragrant.

I love flowers. I think we need a gardening thread.

Lilacs bloom here in the beginning of May so I think they count as Spring flowers!

long island, new york. so you definitely have a big head start on your garden than here! may 15th is the *official* last frost date, so only then can plant annuals and such. i see a few of my daffodils have started to open, by next week i imagine them to be in full bloom.

i have a very shady backyard, so i am more about foliage color and texture, with a few bursts of color with a choice few flowering perennials, and then of course some annuals to brighten it all up. we DO have a gardening thread on the art wall:

viewtopic.php?f=11&t=67515
obviously, just for sharing pictures.
definitely....a gardening talk thread would be good. have had a few in the past, but not much participation...perhaps start up a new one!



fifthelement - nice flowers!



OK - i started a gardening thread!

A different flower.

I still have to edit a lilac or two to the right size--so this one may also be a summer flower. :geek:
