How clever of Zailde to start the discussion on avators earlier!  It really is great to hear the stories behind the pictures. I �ve learnt so much about the site members today.Smile

What a wonderful idea,dear Zailda!

My avatar represents a sculpture: "The Sleeping Muse" and it was made by Constantin Brancusi   ,our greatest sculptor ever...and you can easy guess,my favourite!

Here are some of his sculptures,if you want to know a bit more.Most of them are in USA now.
 
 
Here is my favourite :"Bird in Space"
 
 
My real name is Anca and 13 is the day when I was born.For me,a lucky day!
 
Dear Silvana,first of all happy birthday to your son.Second,I wondered how your name "arrived" in Lithuania from the first time I saw it.Really!
As you probably know,this is a Latin word means "forest".
In Romania,we have a province named "Transilvania"=over the forest.

Hey, gr8 thread.
 
I only just changed my avatar yesterday.  I�m a cat lover so my avatars will mostly be cats.  I chose the first one because he looked soooo relaxed (as cats usually do considering they spend 23 hours of every day in slumber mode).  I like this new pic - he has an interesting look.  And Tabby cats are my favourite.
 
Cheers

My avatar is always a kiwi, of the bird variety usually.  I use this avatar because when I joined ESLprintables I was living in Chile and was a wee bit homesick at times.  The kiwi is New Zealands national bird and the people who consider themselves NEw Zealanders have a tendency to call themselves Kiwis.  I even created a reading comp about it one day when I was particularly missing home.

For those of you who don �t know - the kiwi fruit which the rest of the world just calls kiwi - was developed in New Zealand from a chinese gooseberry - it use to be a lot smaller!

I am home now and currently thinking of taking an avatar that connects me to Chile <because I do miss the country a lot!> 

I am also considering putting me and my cat on their as everytime i log onto eslprintables she comes running over and tries to sit on the keyboard!

Hi guys!
As I see the topic continues here, and it �s great to know a little more about you, wonderful teachers! It �s interesting to discover that everyone chooses an avatar that represents something important in his/her life or his/her personality!

Keep going, I really enjoy reading about you!
