Sometimes what I love most about an image isn’t the subject at all. In this image what I love is the soft, velvety background. So simple.

If you have an image you can show me, tell me what you love about it. Is what appeals to you what we see at first glance, or is it something we have to look for? Leave a link in the comments and I’ll stop by for a look. Thank you to all you wonderful people who stop by, whether you are clients, friends, or delightful cyber-friends. I’m grateful for each of you.

The reason I haven’t been posting is because I’m struggling with a bad flu (yes, again). Today is Canada Day so a big shout out to all my Canadian neighbours! Enjoy the day spent outdoors away from the computer. 

See you when I’m feeling better. If wishes could come true, this is where I’d want to be today.

I need your input.

I have decided I would like to offer you, my blog readers, a free desktop wallpaper for download every month beginning in March. Because I am limited to the size I can offer with this particular blog format, it has me considering a slight change. This is where I need your input please.

To be able to ‘drop in’ a suitably sized image for you to download once each month, I would have to change the particular blog theme so that it can handle a larger sized image (in dimension and pixels). So, are you open to seeing a facelift here? If I do a facelift to the blog I’m still limited to using the standard Wordpress templates, especially since I have no idea how to customize blog themes. You are the ones coming to view the photos and read the blog, so I felt I’d give you the opportunity for input on this. Would you like to see a fresh perky white or light background? I thought it might be nice with Spring soon upon us anyway. I really like how the black background allows the photos to stand out, although white can do the same thing. So, here are the two real questions for which I need a response:

1. Would you be interested in a free downloadable desktop wallpaper (a new one available each month)?
2. Would you like to see a change in theme with a white or other light background (even if only for the spring & summer months)?

If you have other suggestions how I could conveniently offer the free downloadable photos each month, I’d love to read your suggestions. Also, if you have any other suggestions about the blog theme (how the blog looks), bearing in mind I haven’t a clue how to customize using CSS (whatever that is) or HTML.
