It was a gorgeous sunny day yesterday (as it is again today), so I went for a long walk with my camera, looking for spring. I think I found it: Part of my walk took me through the Staff Gardens at the university (where the earliest rhododendrons are just starting to bloom). It’s quite…
When even your mother is telling you it’s about time you updated your blog, it’s probably about time you updated your blog… Not that I’ve got anything in particular to update it with.
