Our World Tuesday: Taking a Break from the Books

SandyCarlson June 09, 2013
Ah, finals.... It's time for Adella take them and for me to give them and grade them.  We spent the weekend getting ready, but we managed to take time out to take Clyde out to stretch a letter and smell the flowers.
The river was full and moving right along.  Sunlight bobbed along and bounced off the overhanging leaves.
The park was sweet with the scent of blossoms that will soon give way to wild berries.  

Back at home, the lilies on the pond seem to be marching across the water.  They're looking mighty invasive, but I like them all the same.

It's fun watching summer unfold.

And then it's back to the books.

    1.That's the way it is, Sandy! Do what needs to be done and then the books.
    2. I remember Sylvia with her friend from Mumbai. I'm glad she's back!
    Nicely!

    It won't be long now and you gals won't have to bother with books except to have a relaxing read. You pictures sure bring in focus the coming summer. Love the idea of light dancing on the leaves.

    I'd rather be you than Adella. Glad Clyde forced you both to take a break.

    It's lovely to walk by such beautiful peaceful greenery.
    I for one am so glad not to have to study for finals. When I drive by a high school now I think poor kids. lol
    So much to do and worry about.I liked college much better.

    Photography like this often leads me to wonder if I can be as good with my new camera--which I am still learning about! :)
