Feedback on my new header?

Hello lovely readers!

Thank you all so much for visiting my blog. I do appreciate each & every single one of you, truly!

Ive been working on improving the layout of this blog, and after the latest template change, Im now working on the header.
Any comments?

Each picture is clickable, and upon user click, users will be directed to another page that will have all related links; for example if you click on Food, all food related posts will appear. That is still work in progress though, as Im still working on sorting out my archives!

So, what are your thoughts? What do you think of the pics? The background colour? The overall colours of the template?
All feedback appreciated!
