However, I chose my avatar because (probably like most people)
it is representative of my personality.
In what way? Is it that you like opera? Have a particular interest in Lina Cavalieri? Or is it more specific to that image instead of another of Lina Cavalieri; perhaps you like bird watching?
It is an interesting image, I believe created by Piero Fornasetti.
And I DO like birdwatching, quite a bit, as a matter of fact;
but really it just represents the part of me that is curious, investigative, observant,
but also watches from something of a distance;
watching but not close enough to touch, as it were.
And you are right, it is a Fornasetti.
I also like it because it evokes a sense of the vintage; of the style of a bygone era,
which also resonates with me.
What about your avatar?
Fairly sure it is Greek, esp. given your handle,
but I'm afraid I don't know its specific meaning, if there is one.
