I know spring is finally coming the redtail hawks are back in my pine tree ready to have babies again for the 12 year. I saw them mating the other day so it will not be long. It is so much fun to watch them feed their babies and grow up to bring another brood into the world. Roxan

I'm so happy - the girl I've been after finally called me back and asked when she could start!

If they look great on your computer but not on the paper then your monitors gamma settings are probably not right! I'd ask my boyfriend how to correct it (he did mine) but he's 300 miles away in Kent, so a Google search might help. Charlie. "vj" wrote in...
