What's the problem with my avatar? It's a building site! We love building sites! I can change it if you want, but I think it's pretty nice.

I didn't want to be cruel to a fellow midlander and my eyesight may be getting
bad but i thought it was a cabbage leaf, sorry Brewy, am i the only one ?

I didn't see it as a building site either. I couldn't give heads nor tails as to what it is. My first guss was a undercooked loaf of round bread, but then again, I was hungry at the time.
But now that we know, we could give him two thumbs up, for being the first av of a new building site!
 
I thought it was an art work made of sheet metal.
 
You crazy guys...!
 
There we go, I'm never one to bow to peer pressure but is this a happier medium?

Hmm...the link opens for me just fine. Strange. It's another cute, fuzzy, yellow caterpillar. (I have one of those black and brown woolly bear caterpillars hanging out in my entry way...I think it has chosen that as its winter hibernation location...as soon as I locate a suitable container, I'll let it overwinter in the garage so I can see what the moth looks like come spring...I've never seen a woolly bear caterpillar live and in person before, and it's really cute, so I'll adopt it as a pet for winter...that's the easy kind to adopt, ones that hibernate and require no care and feeding until spring :biggrin:).
 
what was the confusing one? I missed it

I thought that the first one was a low shot of a bunch of transmission towers being struck by lightning. :redface:
