Celebration of Spring photo

[Maz]

As a celebration of spring, just for a few days, the forum background has changed - a European hamster in spring. You can see the actual photo below. It's by Julian Rad - wildlife photographer. It's licensed to use on the forum background but can't be shared or used elsewhere unfortunately. But to see more of his photos check his web page and instagram.

Such a lovely photo & it looks great as the forum background, really does make it look like spring has arrived!

Just had a look at all the wonderful photos on Julian's website. I couldn't pick a favourite because they are all heart meltingly good

They are amazing aren't they. Not just European hamsters either, but field mice and squirrels and more. As well as the photos being so good, it's just so nice to see European/wild hamsters enjoying nature.

It looks beautiful. What a lovely idea Maz.

Due to the long narrow logo bar, I could only crop the photo and it repeats the photo across the width of the screen. I need to find a way to just have the photo there once in future - or adapt it but it needs quite a lot of coding! I originally had the full photo set as the whole forum background, but that didn't work very well as you couldn't see the hamster (it worked better with poppies on poppy day).

Those types of things are never as simple as t hey look or you might hope!

Header bar back to normal. I'll need to learn a bit more to do that again next time. It didn't look right without the logo showing up!
