I don't know what to do...

This could be the last...


After so many months of trying to make this blog interesting and valuable I realize that it is obviously not worthwhile to really to be continued. I am probably not giving this up completely but apparently people have no real interest in blooms and blossoms, colours shown in intriguing environments. The amount of photography blogs running through the internet is simply too high even if the content of many blogs could be "neglected".

Well - simply looking at my stats I must say that all the work is not worthwhile to be continued if no-one likes to see it. I have so many tasks on my plate that I really need to set priorities and I decided to concentrate rather on my art and design tasks than wasting precious time for private pleasure only - - because pleasure it was, to collect all those photos and share them with one or two viewers.

Never mind....

A new Title...

From now on this blog will be called

In Terms of Colour

Help needed!!! Drop-down menu for Labels???

Hi everybody!
Does anyone know how I could enter categories in blogger as a drop down menu instead of a whole list? The list of my categories has become so long that I wished I could show it as drop-down.
Any help is very much appreciated!!!

No Entrecard widget any more!

Dear Readers,
you may have realized in the meanwhile, that I deleted my Entrecard accounts because I have no time any more to follow the ads and react appropriately.
I also decided to keep my blogs ad free. I am happy to use the old fashioned link exchange though for those blogs which are strictly theme related. In my opinion advertising has taken over on so many blogs that you sometimes do not recognize content any more. This is not what I want to do with my blogs.
The only widget that I am glad to continue to use is the one with followers because this one helps me to find new interesting blogs and I am happy to "pay back" with an entry myself.

Introducing a New Blog...

Hi dear Readers and Bloggers,
just wanted to inform you that I have a second blogger blog about

Art and Interior

with the Entrecard widget.

This new blog is all about ideas how art and interior design can create a harmonious entity and to demonstrate where art could be applied into a perfect home.

I very much hope that you will enjoy this new blog also. If you would like to see much more photos about my artwork, especially large detailed photos you would need to check out my German blog

Design und Kunst

where you will find all the works under their titles in the respective category. English descriptions can be read under

Images and Imagination
