Iconmania!

1. Reply to this post and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

Chosen by firesign10: (I commented on her meme and she chose 5 of my icons to explain. Comment here if you would like me to do the same for you.)

I was looking for images for fire. I ended up stumbling across this leaf and I loved the picture. Obviously, not a fire. However, the colors were. The beautiful autumn colors really pop framed by the thick black lines. Fall is my favorite time of year.

If I remember right, I found this icon the first time I signed up for LJ Idol in 2008. We were displaced and discombobulated by the fire. The thought of having to write on my hands because I couldn't find paper just captured the feeling of the time. I intended to use it for my entries about writing.

I love the inner workings of this watch and how it is fading into the shadows. I have always loved pocket watches, which this reminded me of.

This was my very first icon. I used it for the first couple of years I had my LJ. I created the journal in 2003. Mercedes Lackey & Larry Dixon's The Black Gryphon was one of my favorite books way back when. My husband had chosen a blue dragon for his icon and the gryphon spoke to me at the time.

I am and always have been a very horse crazy person. I realized I had no horse icons a few years ago and I went looking. Buckskins have been dear to my heart since I was a teenager. Buckskins are a color of horse that run from a tan to gold colored coat with black points (mane, tail, and lower legs). My best friend and I spent several years building a fantasy world through the telling of stories to each other. We had a very detailed world. Kajel, was the name of my character in our stories. She had a buckskin horse named Shadowsdawn. I found this beautiful horse and I was good to go.

I've enjoyed going back and remembering why I chose these icons.
