I found it after googling "ipad wallpaper" and thought, I have to spread this one around.
By the way, I did search for the original image to at least mention the artist's name or source site, but all I found was other people and sites who ripped it off, like I did.

The EXIF data for the image says "Copyright Apple Inc., 2017", and next to that it says "description: Display P3" (no idea what that means).

Mark, did you briefly have an avatar of yourself hiking with a woman — a striking resemblance — or did I dream that?

Edit: I don’t know why I wrote “mom” earlier, except that I was receiving updates from mine on her eye surgery. Scatterbrain, i am.

I did. A little mountain goat that spends her vacation time trying to kill me.
She's retiring next year. We're negotiating.

I met her 25 years ago on a hippy bus tour through Mexico. She was the driver and tour guide - and a commanding presence. As I was pretty much the only other adult in the crowd, we hit it off well. You have to take your time with these things...

Edit: Photo removed to reduce the chances that I am murdered in my sleep.

Lady on the train panicked when I took off my mask after sitting down, but visibly relaxed when she saw I was having a coffee.

Love the avatar Tortoise. In that spirit, I heard in order to level the playing field, Ozzy Osborn was going to debate Biden. ;)
Thanks, Mountaineer! My previous pandemic-themed avatar was starting to show its age -- much like Biden. ;D

Just doing my part to get people revved up for the coming slaughter... er, debates.

"Want to take a hike?" (Literally "Climb a mountain together?")
It's just a show that my wife is watching. Very popular now.
It's about evil deeds, not mountain climbing.

Is it too soon to start dropping the election-related avatars so we can start getting back to normal?

Does that mean I should also be getting the Obama / Biden sticker off the back of my car that was there when I bought the car in December 2013?

I wouldn't, Vinny. I think it makes a real statement on a never washed car.

All the recent avatars are pleasing to the eye.

If it hasn’t been mentioned, Smith’s is a Russian known as “muscle Barbie.”

Indeed! A very unique athlete to be sure. I'd say she's real in a sense that she does actually look like that, but not "real" in a sense that I'm 99.99% sure she's penning steroids.

Either way, clearly a one in a million kind of girl. 8)

Fun fact about me. I am strictly attracted to white/caucasian women. And the preference is not slight. Seeing women of other ethnicities is pretty much the same thing as seeing a dude to me. Not sure why. Just the way my brain is built I guess.
