If the game I create my pics for ends (and it probably will sooner rather than later), I'll spend more time learning how to create things without using scripts. It is very rewarding when you create something yourself. -

Wow, very nice, Sue. I do see Cooper's Hawks here by the condo and see the occasional pile of feathers, probably a mourning dove's remains. Everyone has to eat. I've been enjoying a series on the Public Broadcasting Station [PBS] coincidentally called "A Fistful of Daggers" which is all about raptors. Fascinating! I looked the show up on Google Images and put this on my desktop for now. -

I had decied to make my Xmas cake today. Got out all the ingredients, the butter was out softening, as it had been in the fridge, lined the cake tin. Everything was ready. I went outside to fill the bird baths, and feeders when I heard the Robins suddenly sounding off the alarm. My Sharp-shinned Hawk swooped down and flew off with a mourning dove. One of a pair I have here, now only one. After a short while I heard another hawk, and loe and behold there he was up in the tree, looking down on what I believe to be the female tucking into a hearty meal. They certainly do have a fistful of daggers, and what a predatory force the Hawk is. After over two hours, with a break from eating about half way through the meal, she flew off, leaving nothing behind, other than the feathers. Here are some of the pics I took. I got very cold and wet, but it was worth it. It’s always a privilege to be able to witness a private, moment like that which happens all the time but we rarely witness much less get photos of! Some may not like these pages, and find them distasteful and cruel. I have a comment for that. By saying nature is cruel is damaging, it isn't cruel, it's indifferent, brutal and effective, but it is equally beautiful and a marvel of natural wonder. Eventually I did get my Xmas cake baked, fed with brandy, and put away in a cool, dark place. Sharp-shinned Hawks. The template I used is from lab 10-2. It's one of my favourites, which gets used often. I can remember once, that Cristina, said she liked that template too. Carole's lace , where I used a gradient and then a blend mode. a fancy font on the tag, and brush strokes to highlight some text. Scallops and postage stamp edging on the note with text. The other page is a layout demonstrated in the scrap with grids masterclass.
