Hi all, here we were at a bird of prey observatory in my home in the southern Black Forest. This is a bald eagle, well known to Americans ? But they are also found on the German North Sea. h

One of the prettiest birds that graced our yard this summer was the indigo bunting. I was lucky to be out with my camera (okay, I confess, I spent a lot of days out with my camera) when this boy came into my yard. I was hoping to catch him on his migration journey to winter somewhere south between Georgia and northern South America, but so far no sighting.

here are storks in our little zoo in Aachen fonts are Daisy and DomBoldBT, I made a cutout from one photo and used the second in my LO kit is Let Life Bloom by Fayette Design

Project 1 - This is my Great Niece with my Mother here Great great great Grandma.

Ho provato a farne un altro ma non mi riesce bene. Non so usare il forum aiuto.

Thank you for the tips on adding drop shadows etc to my page 1. I think it looks a little better.

I have a little time to scrap so I made another one for this bootcamp I used again a Kit by Lynn Anselc - Autumn Harvest font - Denim and A day in September

Project 2 Exploring our Solar System.

DAY 5-PROJECT 2-ADVENTURE PARK- I asked Ru Choi if I could use his chipmunk photo from the Hudson Valley in Pictures Gallery on Facebook. I dimmed the hand a bit and sharpened the chipmunk. My title font is Aviation Cocktail with inner bevel and shadow while the info on the right uses the font High Tower Text. The background paper and the birds I found in my stash without labels. The flower is by Marisa Lerin in a kit called Delight.

My great-nephew Noah requested a baby sister. It took him about a day to adjust when he was told that it would be a brother instead. He takes the responsibility of being a big brother quite seriously.

Lesson 5 repost. Staples scaled down as suggested.

Thank you Julie. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think of leaving my homeland, and the life I had. Although my heart is still in Wales, I have adapted well here. If it wasn't for the local ranches that introduced me to their way of life, which revolves around horses, and cattle. I wouldn't still be here. Within my first 6 months here, I had the pick of any horse that I had schooled. The rest is history. Here are 2 photos, which I took trailing cows home for the winter. There is always a lead cow, that has made the trip several time prior. They move well, especially when they are strung out, with the wind in the faces, to keep them cool. Making the riders job easy, just along for the ride. I rode to the top of a hill, to take the first shot, looking down on the cows, and the vast expanse of the landscape. Once they had a drink, I rode on in front to open the gate. (one of my all time favourite landscape shots) As seen through Meg's ears, and I added Nell. Extracted her head, overlay.

Awesome to see those vast almost empty stretches of grassland with that herd. I can see why you love it so much and it is great to get a glimpse of it through your photos.

Rattlesnakes! Yikes is right. I was hiking very early one morning (years ago) and was about to take a step when I saw something move and it was a rattle snake recoiling. It was colder so he was slow moving. I'm glad I did not step on him. On the same hike we came across a spot where there was flattened grass that a large animal must have been sleeping on. Whatever slept there slept on a rattle snake, he was sadly no long with us. We suspected it was a bear as we had to walk by this very large bear, just sitting on it's butt with one leg sticking out to the side, super relaxed looke. We on the other hand were not feeling very relaxed as he was just off the trail about 10-15 feet away. A runner and her dog had come by us a few minutes prior and told us about the bear and that it's likely gone because the dog was barking at it. Nope, it wasnt. We didnt make eye contact, just walked by and a distance away we high tailed it back toward the car. Later that week the local paper was warning people that that bear was fake charging people. it was a the biggest bear I'd ever seen (living in BC we did see a number of bears when camping or hiking) and not a smaller black bears were were used to. You layouts are so fun to read. What an awesome trip that must've been.

5° giorno questo è un viaggio fatto tempo fa in Grecia nell'isola di Corfu è stato bellissimo ci simo rilassati e siamo tornati ricaricati. Questa foto è un ristorante dove abbiamo cenato, il panorama era fantastico.

Day 5: My lunch. Not that I'm that good but I need to eat very "healthy" cause of a weak metabolism. I had to make a closeup to make it more visible.

It certainly is a sight to be hold and cherish. As the years have gone by fewer and fewer ranchers trail their cows out and then back home. They now get trucked. Horses are also being replaced by quads to gather and trail cows. The sky is equally as awesome, you have to experience it to really appreciate it. I spend a lot of time on my back, looking up, day and night. At home the Border Collie is the favoured dog for working, more specifically sheep. As the Border Collie will gather to fetch them to you, which they do instinctively. I used to train our borders for sheep dog trails. Only for local shows, not on a professional scale. We brought our Border Colie bitch out with us. The dog of choice out here for working cattle is the Australian Kelpie. They will trail cows, also they are more aggressive, which is what you need sometimes. Not around cows with their calves though, as you are asking for trouble in that scenario. As the cows will turn to defend their calves. In my opinion not a good combination.

I took the word ORANGE from Corrie. Here is my page. Using the word Orange in the title. I created a ghost text, turning it into a sort of sticker for the title. Added flames to 2 of the frames, extended the branch out and over the frame. Used a photo for the background, which consisted of branches and blue sky, blurred. As I mentioned blue skies in the text. Susan prompted me to mention our blue skies, that go on for ever. I believe I am correct in posting my page, in the original acceptance message of the word Orange. By selecting edit. Which is what I have done.

Anja - That shadow on the left stork looks so realistic. Never thought of doing it like that. Thanks for the inspiration!

Even after all these year, the vastness still never ceases to overwhelm me. From someone who's homeland is small Island. You can put 3 UK's in Saskatchewan alone. A population of over 70 million. Saskatchewan has a population of just 1 million.

And now into Colorado - travel day.

In this challenge the word doesn't have to be related to the previous word.

I like the flame in the corner Sue.

Quite possibly. I can say in all honesty, that there aren't any comparisons what so ever between the UK and Canada, more specifically, the prairie provinces.

Follow the steps that Corrie and I have taken. Corrie is yet to create a page using the word PUMKIN. And post it in her original comment, by using the edit tab. I decided to take the word ORANGE, which was Corries word of choice. I have created a page containing the word Orange. Should you decide to take the word that I have submitted which is RIVER, you are committing yourself to creating a page with the word RIVER in the title. Also you have to think of another word to enable someone else to take on the challenge. It can any word what so ever.

I agree!

Once you "grab" a word, you commit to making a layout using that word. You can come back and insert it in your post once it is done. So far, Corrie has "grabbed" the word Pumpkin so she will do a layout using it. She offered the word ORANGE and Sue grabbed it to make a layout, and offered the word RIVER for someone else to grab (and then offer another word). It is a brand new type of challenge so it might be strange the first time around.

sometimes I spent some money for lovely kits, but they must be on sale, good luck Susan

Thank you, Susan. Actually Ru Choi used that title for the photo. Bootcamp proceeds at a slower pace than most with "skip days" in between new assignments. That gives me a welcome break at least twice a year.

I found myself imagining you riding up the hill to take that picture. This would be a site to see, all cattle in line like that. One thing great about all prairies is the sky is as vast as the landscape. And when there is clouds in the blue sky it's awesome to lay on your back and watch the clouds. My parents had roots in farming but rounding up the "crops" didnt require horses, just mechanical horsepower (combine). I much prefer the sounds of nature and the cows/horses as they move through the grass. I dont like noise. Sue, did you ever work with herding dogs? (here or back home?).

Ann, what a delightful photo. I love your title and bottom "With Pockets!" . Hilarious. I should have joined the bootcamp. Thought I'd have too much on my plate though (other than my sandwich and tea that is?).

Angelo, you can ask your questions here in this Bootcamp forum, if you need help with the lessons in The Bootcamp. Carole or another member will see them and will be able to help you. Elsewhere in the campus you will see other forums with other topics. I had neve been on a forum either, before I started with PSP. It will take a little time and you will understand how to post in various forums based on the topics of such forums. For now, you are in the bootcamp, so any questions about that can be posted here. Hope this helps

Thank your the information. I love that kit and found it at oscraps.com. What a great website. I did put it on my wishlist hoping it comes on sale since it's in pounds (1 pound is $1.60 CAD). it's adds up once you get over 5 pounds.

Goodness... that is a radical change. We moved from the suburbs to the countryside but didn't experience such vastness as you have. Maybe your insect and small animal focus for your macro lens is your antidote. ?

Y = Yummy treats!

X = Xenagogue: A guide or leader, which could be used in a Halloween context to lead people through a spooky haunted house. X is getting hard...answers are a stretch...

Il nome l'ha scelto Sabina la mia compagna, io la chiamo Nika ma sarebbe Nike "vittoria"

You really are home, home on the range! Sure is exciting to hear what it's like.

Ciao Angelo, È meraviglioso imparare cose nuove e belle per esprimere te stesso, non importa quanti anni hai. Fa bene alle cellule grigie ? Non importa se potrebbe volerci un po' più tempo rispetto a quando eri più giovane.

Oh Bonnie, I only now see that you also used a red checkered handkerchief. Yes, I love these folk tablecloths in the Black Forest and Bavaria. And you have LINZERTORTE with your coffee, so I'll come over to see you (in my mind) ;)). I love Linzertorte in the cooler seasons.

Thanks for your compliment, Carole. Unfortunately, little “Rambo” was only 2 years old. He loved to lie with me at the PC. I still have a similar scrap of it in my DS gallery with a kit from Magnolia and a photo of a second cat we had before him. Since I'm a 3D fan in scrap design, I rarely forget shadows.

Hello Carole, Thank you Carole for looking for and finding the video error from your side too. I appreciate that. Yes, you're right, a lot of things are similar to PI X3. Only a few settings are hidden under other settings, such as: B. the shadowing under Effects>3D. But I can record this in my study book and soon it will be in the subconscious, since shadows are often used. I'm looking forward to new design options that PI doesn't have (since Corel unfortunately stopped developing it for the sake of profit) Have a nice and blessed weekend.

Carole , I write it in my Signature now , so all can see it in every post .
