Well it is a stock image, but for $15 you can buy 15 images, so Supa could get a bunch of images for this site. Here's the image link:

Most votes are for the candle to be the "icon" for this group. Are you all happy to go with that image? Supa?
Abby - are there any copyright issues with that one?
Terrific to consider images (sorry I didn't give you a rose -- then again, not so sorry, right!) but remember that anything we include should be copyright free and work for men or women, LGBT, with or without kids, to be inclusive. I think the easiest is to look among snapshots we already have....
Gosh Lightning is a terrific idea.... bet it's not too hard to find something that fits!!!
Thanks so much for coming up with ideas -- I have loads of roses left if you get desperate... :-)
