The white-tipped dove (Leptotila verreauxi) is a large New World tropical dove. Its scientific name commemorates the French naturalists Jules and Edouard Verreaux.The dove is a resident breeder from southernmost Texas in the United States through Mexico and Central America south to western Peru and central Argentina. It also breeds on the offshore islands of northern South America, including Trinidad and Tobago and the Netherlands Antilles. It inhabits scrub, woodland and forest.The dove is about 28 cm (11 in) long and weighs 155 g (5.5 oz). Adult birds of most races have a grey tinge from the crown to the nape, a pale grey or whitish forehead and a whitish throat. The eye-ring is typically red in most of its range, but blue in most of the Amazon and northern South America. The upperparts and wings are grey-brown, and the underparts are whitish shading to pinkish, dull grey or buff on the chest. The underwing coverts are rufous. The tail is broadly tipped with white, but this is best visible from below or in flight. The bill is black, the legs are red and the iris is yellow.
The white-tipped dove resembles the closely related grey-fronted dove (Leptotila rufaxilla), which prefers humid forest habitats. The best distinctions are the greyer forehead and crown, which contrast less with the hindcrown than in the grey-fronted dove. In the area of overlap, the white-tipped dove usually has a blue (not red) eye-ring, but this is not reliable in some parts of Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, where it typically is red in both species.
Behaviour
White-tipped dove
The white-tipped dove is usually seen singly or in pairs, and is rather wary. Its flight is fast and direct, with the regular beats and clattering of the wings which are characteristic of pigeons in general. The call is a deep hollow ooo-wooooo.
Breeding
It builds a large stick nest in a tree and lays two white eggs. Incubation is about 14 days, and fledging another 15.
Feeding
The food is mainly seeds obtained by foraging on the ground, but it will also take insects, including butterflies and moths.

hole in your skirt ? instead of busting out the sewing machine or painfully threading that cotton thru a needle, why not just tack it up with a couple of cute safety pins and hang some random junk you have sitting within arms reach from them ?
lazy is a style, right ? ^-^;;;
On a walk round the local reservoir where I live, there were a few dog owners, taking their dogs for a dip..This one braved it first but looked scared and quickly left, but not before I snapped it Tip Toeing in the water..
The tips to the right are felt tips. They are awesome beyond belief, and actually only cost half as much as the boring old plastic ones. These make it feel even more pleasing for drawing, giving the strokes a lot more drag.
There are also some weird other tips including one with a little spring in the middle, haven´t really figured out their purpose yet, but it´s cool that they put some worthwhile acessories with it.
One thing that sucks though is that unlike my Bamboo which came with Photoshop Elements AND ArtRage on CD (and I remember my old old Volito coming with Corel Painter Lite or something, which was cool as well) the Intuos 4 has the bonus software only as super-lame downloads where you can choose only ONE of three programs. I mean, if you drop 200€ or more on one of these babies they could as least throw in another disc... maybe they figured you´d be already using PS or Painter anyways, and I haven´t really used any of the bundled software a lot anyways (save of PSE, which is *kinda* OK if you can´t afford PS just yet), so meh.

I finally finished my Week-2 homework of Multi-Photo Solutions class taught by Aly Dosdall of Big Picture Classes! I am so far behind, I know! :D
I am so glad I finally completed my photo collage using Picasa. This is my first ever Picasa photo collage which is 8x8! Thank you, Aly, for sharing this tip!
I then matted it on a 12x12 page and did some simple embellishments. The balloon images are by My Favorite Things. The cloud and alphabet diecuts are by My Favorite Things too. The button diecut is by Stampin’ Up. For the clouds, I also dry embossed with several Cuttlebug Embossing Folders.
I am also entering this page to Hero Arts’ August Challenge: Making Your Own Embellishments. The only Hero Arts product I used is Hero Arts/Basic Grey Sweet Threads paper pad.
As always, I welcome any kinds of suggestions. Thanks!

Business cards have long been a staple of networking events. But, in today’s digital world, are they worth the expense? Business cards are so omnipresent that they run the risk of becoming an afterthought. Smart entrepreneurs, however, know better than to allow that to happen. Anywhere you go that you meet other people, like networking events, meetings, luncheons, even in line at your local grocery store – can hold the potential to make new contacts. Having a professionally designed business card is basically like having a firm handshake. It can be the deciding factor if a potential client remembers you after the last meetup you attended, or if you will be forgotten.

Can you see any red stain? Just 15 minutes before taking this picture i was drinking an egg. You know how, two holes and off you go, real fast real food. But this time i was a bit too fast, a bit too hard, and the egg went all over my face. And what's worse, all over the jumper that Elske gave me for my birthday. Damn! After throwing the egg away i asked for help to the secretary. She gave me the idea to be the best technician for the job (beside the fact that no one else was there). She looked at the mess and went: sparkling water, but quick, before it dries out. It took me a full 45 cents to buy a small bottle, but the effect was amazing. The egg just went away so easily. And can you see any trace left? Makes me want to wash myself on eggs every day. Don't worry, i wouldn't do it. I can't before 45 cents a day to clean egg stains
