College Life
I tried to go to college right out of High School...took one quarter, if that...it just wasn't for me at the time. I was yearning to be an adult...have that full time job and my own apartment. My twin sister and I moved into a little place in a not-so-safe neighborhood...she was mugged so we moved out within a few months, moved back home. Met my now ex, dated, bought a house together, moved in, got married, had ...etc etc etc But college was never in the list of goals for me. Not until a couple of years ago. Late bloomer, in more ways than one! lol

Here are some pics from the campus....not sure what the flowers are called and only know the japanese maple tree...but the campus is beautiful, I love just walking through it, trying to figure out where everything is.

 Great pics. Beautiful flowers and trees.

I love how the maple is changing. That will happen here soon.

I dropped out of high school in 10th grade. Three years later I started three years of college.Not worth a whole lot, but I might have learned something. .. I've got the debt to prove it! lol .. There are some great trees on college campuses.
Read my diary Journal of a Taxi Driver for taxi stories and pictures of flowers and trees.

There are a lot of what appear to be willows of some sort that are starting to turn bronzy red at the top edges of the tree. The vine maples and japanese maples will be nice to see turn color. And then these trees with the little oval shaped leaves...I am not sure what they are but they are turning yellow.
When I took botany classes many years ago, we took several trips to the University of Washington, in the spring when the cherry trees are in full bloom and all the bulbs come up...you are right, colleges are a great place to see cool horticulture stuff.

 beautiful campus......


LiveLifeDoU replies on 9/23/2016 6:09 am:
It's a bit worn down in places, made of concrete but it was built in a japanese style so lots of trees growing up in little inside gardens, lots of outside covered walkways.

 Excellent pictures !

Just love that tree. . Not that many real trees around where I live in Florida.


LiveLifeDoU replies on 9/23/2016 6:06 am:
Aren't palm trees 'real' trees? lol I bet there are some fantastic tropical flowering plants that only grow in your area... But yeah, I do know what you mean, I love our variety of flora and fauna around the pacific northwest.

 These are wonderful photos, LLD. It looks like a beautiful campus. I revisited the campus in Ann Arbor this spring. I didn't go to school there but I did live there during the height of its most radical period, the very early seventies. That visit brought back so many wonderful memories. It's a historic district so it looks remarkably the same as I remember it. Oh, to be young again!

So far, it's good, rancho, tho two of my professors seem to be a even more technologically challenged than I am! Hopefully, things will get easier for them as the quarter progresses.

 " Aren't palm trees 'real' trees? "

No. They're nothing but sticks with hair on them. .Hardly any shade at all. .There's no comparison with REAL trees.

lol sticks with hair on them...reminds me of the hair on one of the three stooges, too...
