What the heck, I'm gonna start a pic thread:

[eyepaddle]

Here's one that actually shows what I look like without a helmet. Despite appearances to the contrary, I DO do other things besides paddle, but that's the only place I get photographed. I keep planning on buying a camera, but it always seems there is some other pressing need.

This was from about three weeks ago.

1. cute pic!!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. Why'd you have to be a lesbian?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

36. Ha Ha -- I have wondered that myself!!

Lioness...you are gorgeous!!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

39. thank you!

:hi:

[eyepaddle]

13. Thanks, you're lovely and artfully pictured (as ever!)

I'd like to ask people what color they'd describe my hair as--but can't think of a way short of starting a new thread and posting a link--so Maybe people will see this since it's near the top of the thread.

For the record here in MN I'm usually described as having brown hair, but it's always looked a little too brassy to me.

Of course now it's going gray. :(

Oh wait--I don't worry about gray hair! :D

[La Lioness Priyanka]

40. thank you eyepaddle.

[xchrom]

[billyskank]

And you my friend are not shit

[billyskank]

[eyepaddle]

5. Oh come now, is that even possible?

And do I have the pointiest nose ever? (I've been told!)

[billyskank]

7. Nothing wrong with your nose!

Although I will admit the shadow is reminding me of a sundial. :D

;)

[Writer]

16. billyskank, I think we need to institute a group hug...

For Pete's sake!

:grouphug:

Stop cutting yourself down! Gracious!

And that's a very good picture of you.

[billyskank]

17. Okay.

Thanks. :hug: <-- hug being returned.

We need a picture of you too.

[Writer]

21. I haven't taken a new one in quite a while, but here you go.

Me concentrating heavily last winter.

[billyskank]

23. I think I remember it

You are still beautiful. :hi:

[Writer]

46. Well, thank you.

:hi:

[Cannikin]

25. Beutiful eyes, and in Arkansas speak: You sure do got a purdy mouth.

[billyskank]

[Guava Jelly]

6. My latest mediocre one

[eyepaddle]

26. Someday I'll have one with NO gear on of any kind and then

we can compare--I wager I'll out-mediocre you two-to-one!

As of now, apples/oranges! ;)

[mainegreen]

9. No new photos of me, but here's one of my wonderful wife and son:

:loveya:

The guy in the back offered my wife half an eaten twinkie.
True.

[eyepaddle]

Half a twinkie is better than no twinkie

or wait a second....

:hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

14. Newest one I have of myself:

[eyepaddle]

20. That hat makes you look shockingly middle-American. Ensign Crusher.

:hi: by the way!

Also say :hi: to Heidi as well, if you please! :)

[Call Me Wesley]

28. LOL! It must be the Yankee cap! ;)

:hi: And I'll tell Heidi hi when she returns from being out of town. :)

[Left Is Write]

Our house at Halloween:

[billyskank]

18. ...

Nice legs. :blush:

;)

:loveya:

[eyepaddle]

19. Pretending to work?

Not very hard I see!

Of course I should talk--I'm supposed to be inventorying lab chemcials, yet here I am, on DU.

Nice to see you, by the way! :hi:

[Aristus]

24. Here's me at the shore, Long Beach, Washington, last summer:

[eyepaddle]

29. It looks like an awesome day

Did you go into the lighthouse? The only one I've ever been to was closed when we stopped by--not to worry though, I was on a camping trip and we just thought since we were in the neighborhood it'd be worth a look see.

[Aristus]

31. Yeah, we went inside, me and my wife. It was kinda dull.

The spiral staircase freaked Mrs. Aristus out, though (she's afraid of heights.) I just thought about how much hard work it must have been to lug all those heavy oil drums up the stairs before the light was electrified and automated.

[swag]

56. Wow, Cape Disappointment, eh?

They used to let you go down to an enchanted cove where we would sometimes spend many hours.

I trust you braved Marsh's Museum and saw Jake the Alligator Man his bad self.

Did you see the World's Largest Frying Pan, too?

[av8rdave]

30. Acapulco, taken a few years ago

[LaraMN]

32. Yay! Cleaning up after another home improvement adventure:

SophieMN said "hold still! hold still! Your head is big- I might have to cutting it off."

[billyskank]

34. Yay!

:loveya:

[LaraMN]

37. Hey sweetie!

Like my "raspberry" entryway? I don't. I have to repaint it. My husband says it looks like a dollhouse, and unfortunately, I think he's actually right.
:banghead:

[Rambis]

38. Love this one
