May 4 -- morning

.

I took a lot of pics last week. This post is a long one......

Tulips.











Burton Tower, which houses the older of the University's two carillons.





The Alumni building. Note sign in window urging everyone who graduated this month to join.....





This theatre is in the north end of the League.

Once upon a time, the Union was for boys, and the League was for girls. Now everyone can enjoy both.





Burton Tower again. I like the way the clock face is so shiny the "numbers" are really reflecting the sun......





And again, with the northeast corner of Hill Auditorium.





The south end of the League. There used to be a cafeteria inside these windows. Not sure if it is still there or not.......





Decoration on the south end of the League.





Decorative horse chestnut in front of the building that once upon a time was the dental school. These are big clusters of flowers.







With League reflected in the glass.




This is a hydrangea, nicht wahr?





The graduate library, with Old Glory.





Excellent (well, to look at, I didn't sit....) circular bench. See it, in the lower left corner of the above?





Excellent texture......





Elm seed. Yes, really, a real elm tree's seed.

The University, bless its heart, was very vigorous about treating its elms against the ravages of Dutch elm disease. There are multiple remaining individuals which have survived.





Hydrangea.





And here we are, doing something you can't do just anywhere.

Looking up into the crown of a Very Large elm tree.

Live long and prosper, old tree.





Bench with ... ?





Ah.





Bench and shadow.





The south end of the graduate library is much newer than the north end. This is the wind tunnel under the new part.





The LS&A building -- housing faculty offices for the college of Literature, Science, and the Arts.

(Even though I graduated from that college, I've never been too sure just what the "Arts" are, as there is a separate college or two for the painters/weavers/designers/architects, and for the musicians........ Writing, yep, that's in LSA.)





My office building. On a very nice day.
