I'm FALL-ing for you!

Ah, September! I can hardly wait for that first "crisp" feel in the air! The 'official' first day of Autumn is coming very soon, too! In celebration of one of the most beautiful times of the year... early Fall... I made some backgrounds that echo the ambience of this delightful season.

Credit: The free backgrounds in this series were made using papers and elements from Friendly Scrap.

Remember......
For the sake of saving space, I have not posted previews of the three column versions of every background... (although I do try to do that when the three column version looks different.) ...the code is just underneath the 'standard' width code for each design. (They usually look very much like the standard width except that the middle section is just a little wider.)

To use a free background, copy the code underneath the background of your choice and paste it into an HTML/javascript gadget on your blog sidebar. :) For more details (and how to install a background into a Picture Window template, see the installation instructions page.)

So what's your favorite season? :D

As always, I'd love to hear which of this series of backgrounds is your favorite... it helps me design more of what people like to see. ;)

Enjoy!

Photography Backgrounds #1

All these free blog backgrounds are made with photographs I took myself with my Olympus PEN E-PL1 Camera. It's a super-easy way to make a background... but it's fun too! :)

What's really cool is that all these pumpins and squash were grown in our vegetable garden by my Dad. He definitely has a double dose of green thumb when it comes to gardening! :) Even with the drought, he's managed to reap a very bountiful harvest!

And since Autumn is on it's way... ;) This series of backgrounds features 'autumnal' themes.

To use a background, copy the HTML code underneath the picture, and see the "Installation Instructions" page for a tutorial on how to install a background on your blog.

Railroad Ties {transparent}

For the "City Slicker", Railroad ties are the crosspieces that the railroad tracks are laid on. Leftover railroad ties make wonderful lumber for using in landscape projects. We happen to have huge retaining walls built on our land from railroad ties, and the wood has a weathered, mossy texture that was just begging me to photograph it. :D
