Vox Hunt: My Favorite Shot

I took this way back in August of 2003. One of my projects was on display at my college through the summer and I was moving to Chicago in the fall. In the spring when I agreed to let my piece stay, it was because Travis agreed we could make a trip to Springfield to pick it up at the end of the summer, but with more trips to Chicago to find an apartment than planned he was road-tripped out. Oh but I had to get my piece back (I worked over 20 hours on it!), so my sister and I convinced my mom to take us on a last mini vacation of the summer, using the leverage that the entire time I was at college in Springfield we only went to the Exotic Animal Paradise (an awesomely awesome drive-though zoo where the animals come up to the car and you can feed them) ONCE and that was at night to see the Christmas lights so it wasn't the same as going during the day. We had gone a few times years before and my sister wanted to go every time she came along for the ride to pick me up from school and bring me home. And....we won! Yay! And I took a gazillion pictures, several of which are my favorite of all time. This is The Signing Deer, who is actually trying to snatch the large food pellet from my unseen hand hehe. Also, he is my favorite color of fallow deer, which I call "pink" because the babies are  sorta pink-fuzzy like peaches especially compared to the other colors.
