bye bye birdies

dear blog banner photo,

i've decided to let another banner take the reigns for a while. don't take it personally. i have nothing against you. you are one of my favorite photos. you are a drive-by shot, and you know how much i love those! plus, you captured the birds, and you know how much i love those, too. but you were what i needed for spring. now summer is close at hand, and i would like to feature something a little more... well, summery.

i may bring you back in the spring of '10. i remember when i thought i would never change your predecessor. i did not tire of that photo either. i just wanted a change. and that's all this is, too. i still love you and hold you as one of my favorite shots yet. you will not be forgotten––i promise.

very sincerely,
"it's just how i see things"

I loved the birds, but this is SO pretty and delicate. Perfect for summer.

Um, obviously I need some coffee because I didn't realize I was commenting twice. (Between my son's sleepover last night, and building a retaining wall today, I guess I'm a little distracted!)

I actually sighed when i saw the new header... how Summer-ish.

Amazing how attached we get to our creations isnt it?

Per usual... very classy.

Sometimes it's just time for a change. I love the new look, particularly for the season. But the birds served a wonderful service and will not be forgotten -hence, your Ode to a Banner:).

Loving the new banner. The birds always reminded me of a cold, autumn morning. Very pretty, too. But the flowers (I need to plant peonies!!!) are perfect for summer.

LOL I know how you feel. I've been eyeing my reverie banner and thinking of changing it up, but I'd hate to take Dollie down...
