OK here goes! I'm hoping this will be a picture of the Bronte Parsonage in Haworth, where the sisters spent much of their lives:

I almost fainted when this actually worked! OK, now I'm on a roll. This is from a potrait painted of Charlotte by George Richmond in London:

Amazing! I'm almost ready to become an HTML programmer (not!) This is a picture of Emily. It's torn off because Charlotte's husband, Rev. Arthur Nicholls, destroyed the rest of the picture, which had been painted by Branwell -- he didn't think the portraits of Charlotte & Anne were "like."

This is a picture of Anne, drawn by Charlotte, who was also an accomplished artist. Some of her pencil landscapes are just amazing!

This is Haworth in Yorkshire, where the Brontes lived. I will be visiting in September, when the heather is supposed to be in full bloom. I will definitely bring back pictures & scan them in!

Here's another view of the Parsonage with the graveyard attached. Charlotte & Emily are actually buried in a vault inside the church.

To Amy2:
I think, as host to this conference, you should present us with a picture of yourself. I'll be watching!

NEWSFLASH:
Mick has very kindly offered to host my pictures on -his- Web site, so after I scan them in, we will have my photos of my recent trip to Haworth to look at!
Many thanks to Mick for aiding the HTML-Challenged (am I eligible for a U.S. Federal Grant?) -- amy
