Why did you choose your current profile avatar?
I want to change mine and am looking for some inspiration:)
It is a place/museum that I like, and it is rare to be open at night, last year was open less than 5 nights (I think). It was a good quality time and some of the photo's I took are inspirational to me.
Place - "Mosteiro dos Jerónimos"
Good question- I often wonder about people's avatars. I picked mine because I do like a bit of privacy as to what I really look like, but a friend had this muppet made to resemble me so it is the muppet version of me. I like using it because I think it is friendly, interesting, and a reminder that I try not to take things too seriously.
Choosing our cat was a simple thing--she's been a great buddy, she is a great dot connector, and she is just plain delightful in her instinctive kitty ways. Also, I wanted to use one of my own photographs that was especially crisp and striking, one that could speak a story all by itself.
Mine is the Saw-Whet owl on the front of my childrens book. I picked it because it's cuter than I am.

Why did you choose your hubname?I write hubs under my own name. For years anything I did on the net was under various pseudonyms and then one day someone said, surely your writing will be leant honesty and integrity if you use your own name? I don't know that it makes any difference to be honest,...
