Update - Foxes, School, Art

So, thought I'd post a little update on the baby foxes, for a while we didn't see them at all and lately they've been out almost everyday! They're growing pretty quickly because they've gone from this:


To This:You can see some more of their latest shots here. I have around 400ish photos of the foxes that I've taken since we first spotted them, so hopefully this summer I'll have time to go through, pull out and edit the best ones!

I'm waiting until summer to do a lot of things because school is going to be super busy for the next 2 weeks because they're the last two weeks of the semester! I have to design and create 2 masks for my 3D design final, I have to find 50 more examples of typography for my typography class as well as find all my exercises and assignments from the class and prepare them for presentation (which doesn't include any other assignments my teacher might throw at us), I have 3 more assignments and a final exam for my art history class, and I have two more photo assignments for my photography class. Outside of school, I'm also getting ready to take my driver's license test on May 1st, celebrate (sort of) my birthday on May 2nd, and shoot a wedding on May 3rd! - Classes will finally end on May 12th and then I can relax (well, not entirely because I still have to get ready to move out of the house and into a dorm, and I also plan to work during the summer so I can earn a little money for next semester).

Like I said - Busy!

Enough blogging for me today, I have to go turn in my entries for the student art show and maybe get a little Art History homework done:

Cakes and Bad Weather

Yesterday night I spent the evening making and decorating two cakes for a cake auction at church tonight. The first was a beehive cake:and the second was a campfire cake:
the ideas were based on cakes I saw on the FamilyFun website.

Today was supposed to be the day that my photography class was going to be shooting at Rockledge Ranch in Colorado Springs, however this morning the weather was awful - it started with rain yesterday, snow this morning, which quickly turned to freezing rain and then back to snow, so now our yard is full of little ice crystals:
A friend of mine called to tell me the class at Rockledge was canceled, hopefully that means the class itself was canceled and the teacher didn't decide to just go ahead and hold class back on campus because - I didn't go. Neither me nor my mom wanted to drive on the icy roads anyway!
All this weather in the middle of April is getting kind of annoying.

Denver Museum of Nature and Science

On Saturday we went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science as a part of an Art History assignment. The assignment was to visit the museum and see the exhibit on Native Indian Cultures, which actually turned out to be very interesting and full of random and surprising facts, for example did you know the Native peoples of the North (like the Inuits and Eskimos) were the first to invent snow goggles?

We also saw the prehistoric dinosaur exhibit, the animal exhibits, and the space exhibit. We wanted to see the new Expedition Health exhibit which is supposed to be really interactive and hands-on, but you have to get a reserved time ticket to visit the exhibit and we weren't sure how long we were going to be at the museum and the kids all said they had homework to work on so they didn't want to be there long anyway. So we skipped it, but we may hit the museum again in the summer when we have more time.

One of the coolest parts of the museum in my opinion, was the Atrium and the sky terrace, both of which offered some really great views of the Denver skyline!
