wanted to ask a silly question for a long time.

Who knows where my avatar is situated (the picture I mean)? It is famous :-)
Also wonder about reasons for other avatars - except the portrait pictures of course

Have a great week

Hi Maria, My avatar is the first design I changed, I had to adjust the size and I found a flower to fit. I did not have many designs at that point. Also the design came from DBC and was digitized by helen (moyed). It was my first selfie! sort of! lol!

Hi! If this is your first selfie, you really are such a sweet
girlie. "You" look so friendly and welcoming in this :-) but I am pretty sure you got a good sense of humour too
Have a great weekend
Hugs Maria

The story behind:
Anna, my son's girl friend for 4 years, is living in Prague and she showed us her hometown and part of the Czech republc some times
and I still want to go back and back to see her and her beautiful home area again. Their relationship is over for 3 years now but still I am connected to Anna - on another basis, of course, more like "girl friends" or mother and daughter and therefore I chose this avatar

Thank you; this is a great idea to refer to Wikipedia.
They always have detailed explanations to all kind of subject
and it is so essential to know about background.
Learning new things is a sweet challenge too :-)
Hugs and Love Maria

How fun. This was a bit of a guessing game. Yes, it is a beautiful clock and the place in front of it is always crowded with people from everywhere to see the Apostel turn around. If you ever have the chance to visit Prague do it - there are so many beautiful areas there

Clock on the outside of a church/building but I don't know where! But it is pretty. I didn't look below to see if anyone answered before I said this!! Now I'll go see if anyone knew!

Oh yes, I also could have taken that instead. Daily laundry still is a challenge with 6 or sometimes 7, 8 persons in my house.
Would more love to go to places like Prague again instead

My avatar is not my portrait, but the next best thing. My wonderful four legged friend and she is better looking then I am.

Sorry I have no idea. Mine was taken at a little Botanical Garden when we were travelling on mainland Australia a couple of years ago and the 'Navigator box' got us lost. The duck was standing at my feet. It was quite funny really. We had our late lunch there and a bus load of aged people pulled in and were have their cuppa, Hubby walked around and was talking to them and then came back to me eating a home made cake. He said they thought he was with them and gave him one. He expected me to believe that story. LOL Shirley

Thank you so much. And what a cute little duck. So fun that she choose you to stand at your feet. Never knew they are so trusting and friendly but probably they are not really

Es ist die Aposteluhr vom Altstaedter Rathaus in Prag (ich war erst vor 2 Wochen dort)
This is the Apostel clock on the old townplace in Prague
