when mountains give way to flowers...

if you have the faith to move mountains :-)

it looks nice!

This is really sharp. But, as much as I like the vine and flowers, I'm not sure it looks quite right now.


I thought the drawing of the vine looked funny against the photo of the dianthus. Now that the vine and lettering are set off by the shadow, I think it looks great. Please keep the vine!

Just thinking ahead....any thoughts of changing the flower as the seasons change?

oooops - I posted a thread also - sorry!

I thinks it's beautiful !!

Terry, definitely! It'll be easy to swap this out with other great pics as the seasons go.

So bright and cheery!!! Love it!

Wonderful...idea....changing with the seasons

Deb

I like this! Change the flowers with the seasons is a GREAT idea.

Paul

Beautiful

Yup but keep the little flowers next to the Dave's sign. I see those and I associate them with Dave's.

very pretty!

Love it.

Love it! I like the idea of changing the flower scene too.

This is very classy. I love it.

Keep ahead of the season in spring for all of us with a delayed spring but in winter I don't want to see any snow. Maybe winter can be reserved for tropicals!!!

I love all that green...it's just starting here in Keyport.

It's really lovely! I'm also glad you kept "Dave's flowers", they're always a touch of home!

What a nice surprise! I like it lots better than the straight line even with the hills added. To echo the above comment, keep the original vine next to the name, it has significance to us old timers here, and also keep the For Gardeners, By Gardeners line, and just change the background now and then. With all the flowers we have I think we should be looking at something more interesting than a generic background.

Dave - maybe a teeny, tiny dropshadow behind the original flowering vine? Only a couple of pixels wide/deep, could be a dark grey, just to give the sweet thing a little texture. Right now, it almost "drowns" in the green background.

Other than that, I love it! :-)

I vote to change the dianthus to a morning glory for summer!LOL!

I see it is a new day at DG! Pretty scenery this morning. I guess it could change monthly or you could just incorporate a slide show. LOL It could be different every time we look like the old PDB photos were. Now, that sounds like some work!

WOW, was that there when I got here about 6:40 cst? Or am I just oblivious to all my surroundings?

sugarweed, I put it in around 7:15am CT.

dave

Shew, I thought I was a gonner.

Nice

Ahhh... how refreshing!

Could there be a mini-slide slow of suitable pics? Our members reside in both hemispheres and thus see the change in seasons at very different times, if at all. I sure wouldn't mind seeing a pic of crocus emerging from beneath the snow in the middle of August. :)

Maybe Dave could make it so the PF, GBW, etc., each had different photos...

I love it! And I really like the idea of it changing ever so often.

Beautiful, Dave! And I like the idea of changing it with the seasons -- or zones?

Most Excellent !

I viewed awsome Alpine flowers while on Pike's Peak.
I'de rather have flowers than a mountain, any day! lol
However, mountains serve a necessary purpse, I'm sure.
Happy Spring to all!

The shading and re-size on the vine really work...this is great!

So someone has been playing with it?? I keep sitting here looking at it, trying to decide if I am nuts, it has been changed or I just got used to it. LOL

i was just at the Brugmansia forum, saw some datura flower instead of brugmansia. chuckling here. pls. do not get me wrong, it is beautiful but wrong flower i think. in fact those are Datura innoxia if not mistaken. http://davesgarden.com/forums/f/brugsetc/

Oh wow! Looks like Dave's been playing around with other candidates for the banner... even if they might be a wee bit incorrect. ;)

Thanks for sharing that, MaVie! It sure it pretty.

Donna

i just happen to peak in the brugs forum, notice the datura flowers. so far i have not ventured to other forums so i do not know if there are other changes there too.

u're welcome Donna :D.

I bet he was just jerkin' your chains, Brug people!

Datura meteloides, actually, and it was very intentional. :-)

Actually, up until recently the brug forum included daturas, so there. :)

dave

So are you planning to make the photos decided by the section of the site you're in, or have you not figured it out yet for sure?

-Paul-

Haven't decided for sure. Really, I'm just goofing around. :) These little fun projects are good ways to blow off some steam during a buzy day.
