Well let me see, the odd ones, I think, are the blonde lass in the pink T-shirt and the elephant. Am I right?

Nice photo alatar.

As for the two honourary members:

Well, it's obviously the two adults...

... Ok, if we're being serious, it's the elephant and the boy.

Thanks. The honorary members are, of course, "Princess Victoria," a ten year old elephant, and the boy in the back with the glasses.

Thankfully the elephant did not accompany us when we went to eat later that day...not that the kids didn't want to bring her home.

Nice photo Lindale! I like the graveyard one especially.

And for those of you who would like to see an even more ridiculous photo of me than the one on the Barrow-Downs Photo Page you can see it here:

I think this is an accurate representation of my daily activities. That nefarious willow fooled me again!

Had you worn a white dress in the photo, you would have looked like what I would expect Goldberry to look like.

EDIT: Also thought I could post a more recent picture in here, the last one is now one year old.

So, anyway, here's me at my senior prom (Abiball in German):

The cool part about our prom is that unlike America we are allowed to drink.

Hey, that's a nice picture. My first impression was actually that it is a painting by John Howe or Ted Nasmith or both. Nice colors, too.

Well, that's very nice too, Mig! While I dislike the portrayals of "succesful young men" in commercials, I think you here seem like an essence of a true, real one (in contrary to the construct that is usually pushed on us, i.e. a self-made man who has everything he ever wanted, but it gives the impression that despite that, his life must be completely hollow).

Interesting you call it that in Germany... from abiturus I guess, like we have in Finlad. Those getting their matriculation examination from a senior secondary High-school are called abis in Finland as well.

And my God how the Finnish abiturients drink... (says one who has taken part into something like 11 abi-cruises on a ship after their school ends, by the request of my students...)

But you look good there! Clearly not too many drinks, yet.

Thanks! I took that photo at my cousin's farm in Iowa. It really was the most magnificent old willow she had there, I couldn't resist being eaten by it! No doubt my relatives think I'm completely mad now, what with my climbing into decaying trees and crying plaintively for Tom Bombadil to come and save me - they may never speak to me again!.
