Spotted Around Campus

Need a place to tarry in idyll? Cornell's got it!



Daffodil Deere makes a stop at Olin Library



Hey, forget about those daffodils! Look at us!




Is actually someone who doesn't have enough of these?



Librarian, stuck inside all day, maintains sanity by beautifying workspace...



Snapped as the chimes were playing "Jingle Bells" (preceeded by the theme from Star Wars, followed by "Hey Jude")




Hey, is that...? Yes! Hooray!

The Neighbors

Hello... Heathcliff? It's me, Cathy

But you should see the daffodils! Curb appeal!

Come set a spell

Signs of Spring: Compare to Last Week

cornell campus--

I don't know how to do side-by-side photo layout yet and it's too nice an evening to spend time finding out, so I hope you won't mind checking the pictures below against those in the April 11 posting to see how Spring is progressing on campus.

Things Crossing the Road

state route 414 and searsburg road--

Last night:
A fluffy-tailed bunny

This morning:
First, a hawk with its freshly killed squirrel dangling from its claws. Its meal interrupted by the barreling danger of the Jetta, the hawk had attempted to take flight but couldn't gain elevation due to the heavy squirrel (flashback to Texas, 1993 -- Darren, I'm talking to you). The hawk finally dropped the squirrel and made its ascent just in the nick of time.

Next, a wild turkey, who swerved in the same direction that I did. Fortunately, it managed a flappy fly-skip-hop maneouver and thus another unhappy encounter was averted.

Whew.

We Love Our Neighbors

The beautiful sight that greeted us at our doorstep this Sunday morning.

Winter Walk

caywood--Spring took the day off, and we took a stroll down the lane with neighbor Lucy and guest Bosun. A beautiful day in Lodi.
