Seasons

If you've followed In the Shade of the Cherry Tree for any length of time, you know I can't let well enough alone. I'm always hunting for another background, another color scheme, another focus image. The newest is in honor of the coming summer. Besides it's been hot enough to be summer around here. All our flowers have bloomed or are setting buds to bloom a full month early this spring. By the way, I've already picked out the background image for fall. ; )

The latest background is perfect depiction of deep Georgia woods. The focus image is to herald the coming season of ripe cherries in our grocery stores. I can't get enough of the tasty little fruit--it's my favorite.

I've wondered if I change the look too often, but I know the visual expression of my creative side needs an outlet, too. So, for now, you can look forward to my changing images. Hopefully they will all fit the image of a comfortable place to visit. Come on into the Shade and sit for a spell. Maybe it will take your mind off the heat. ; )

What about you? Do you change up your look from time to time. Or do you think writers should strive for a recognizable look that is part of our set image and brand?

On Friday, check out Deniz's The Gridle of Melian--I'm the guest writer/blogger. She asks good questions. ; )

  1. I don't switch up a whole lot but that's because it takes me too long to figure out what I want. I don't have much computer time. Plus I'm kind of boring that way. I enjoy seeing others peoples changes though, I get to live vicariously through them. :)

    Can't wait to see your post with Deniz.

  2. What a surprise to come to your blog and see the changes. I like! I'm actually in the process of getting some design work done on my blog. It'll be awhile, but I'm looking forward to the tweaks.

  3. Love this new look, Zan Marie! I want... those cherries...
    I do tend to switch things up. I haven't lately for fear people are used to the way my blog looks. But maybe I could start experimenting with colours again.

    1. I love this one, too. I don't expect I'll make any changes for a while. It's soothing. ; )
