Planning a "collective New Year's greeting card" to TYWKIWDBI readers

Five years ago at Christmas I set up a "collective greeting card" for the readers of this blog.  There were only about a dozen responses, but they were good ones.  I'd like to repeat the effort; it's too late for Christmas, so we'll make this a New Year's greeting.

Here are the instructions:

In the comment section to this post, give me a link to a photo (or a bit of artwork or other image) that you have in your blog, or in your Flickr photostream or in some other online storage site. Don't email me the photo - just give the link and I'll go there and copy the photo.

The picture can be of you, or your family, or your computer, or your cat, or whatever - it doesn't matter.

In the comment, with the link write a brief (25 words max) greeting, directed to the other readers and visitors (not a comment on TYWKIWDBI).

Sign with the avatar name you use in commenting here, or in your blog, or your real name if you wish. I reserve autocratic right to edit comments and trim pictures if they are too big, to limit the number if there are too many, and to vaporize anything that hints of spam or might be offensive to other readers.

I'll assemble your submissions into a collective post similiar to the one I created five years ago, and I'll post it in mid-January.

Have a go.

Addendum:  Already fifteen responses, with a couple portraits/selfies of readers, a dog photo, a cat photo, a horse, a greeting card, a scenic, one sports, a nature, a retro, and even one butterfly.  Keep 'em coming!

  4. I'm a baseball card collector so my blog is mostly about baseball cards. My first post in 2008 is my favorite card. - Capewood

    [To Stan- You've promoted my fun blog before (thanks!). This is a work blog I had to start for a fellowship last year with a different account than I use to comment here.]

    1. It's not clear to me which photo at the link you would like me to use with the greeting.
