Your markup is very clean; well done on that count.

As far as markup and accessibility a couple things jump out at me:

1) You've definitely got a good handle on image replacement. In the  
case of the "picture", however, I'd recommend using an <img> tag  
instead for three reasons:
   - Since it's an actual image, it would make more semantic sense to  
use an <img> tag instead of a div.
   - Browsers without images or CSS support won't see anything; they  
should see "Sam Leathers Computer Services". You can accomplish this  
either with the "alt" tag on an image, or by placing the text inside  
the div and adding "text-indent: -10000em" property.
   - An image tag would be easier to wrap in an anchor to link to the  
homepage (a good usability practice).

2) I'd consider adding some :hover effects to your links. From an  
accessibility perspective, it's a good visual cue that you're  
correctly targeting the link, particularly for users with limited  
vision or mobility who might otherwise have trouble telling when  
they're able to click.
