It was the perfect 15 minutes to go kite flying!

Hike
Last week I went on a hike. A friend loaned me a micro lens to get some pictures with. I had fun practicing.
Sledding
While I have been home, we have gone sledding several times. I enjoy going down with my siblings. I think Andrea and I would normally go down together, or race, when we were younger. I also enjoy going down with Megan. I think she likes going down on laps, she does not need to see to steer.
Reading Buddy
I have been enjoying being able to read fiction again.
Talking to Santa
I had a great discussion with Santa this year. I asked him for taller door frames, wider chimneys for him and more old fashioned candy canes at school.
Exploring
I went for a walk today and found some neat things. Unfortunately, because of what the area was like I was having a difficult time keeping my exposure right (They have cliffs here!) I will need to play with those photos a bit more.
I love how the drop caught the light and got such a blue shine. I’m also not sure what photo of the fire hydrant I prefer, what do you think?
Animation
Ever since I started animating I have wanted to try doing an animation, by hand drawing every frame. I stayed away because of the amount of paper and work it would take to redraw every time. At school there is a wacom tablet I can use, so I decided to try using it to animate.
Yah, it is a stylized animation of the hero in a folktale I read. Don’t ask to spell his name.

George’s first treasure
I had nothing much to do for a bit because homework got pushed back, so I decided to draw another picture of George. This one illustrates how small dragons start out as.
Meet Fluffy and Spike
In Colorado, Audrey and I dug up some cactus. I took “Fluffy” and “Spike” to school with me. Mom was told by my RA (or was it the RD?) that he thinks this is the first ever.
