Spring Break

My Spring Break adventures are continuing beautifully with lovely Seattle weather. Yesterday I ventured to the quad on the University of Washington campus (my alma mater) for some sun, cherry blossom viewing, and quality people watching.

If you're not familiar with the Seattle area, the quad is the place to people watch. All walks of life, adults, children, and students from all corners of campus come here to congregate, dance, mingle, socialize, see, and be seen, especially when the Seattle sun decides to shine. My friend Carla and I tried to avoid sitting underneath the UW cheer squad practicing stunts, but ended up front row for an impromptu break dance session. That's the quad for you.

  1. OMG GORGEOUS. Your photos lately are making me soooo homesick.

    I have fond memories of lying on that grass reading "Anna Karenina" one summer when I took an Art History class at UW. Followed almost always by Pagliacci at the HUB. :)

    I might have already asked you this, but ever have Professor Rene Bravmann? He taught African & Tribal Art. He inspired me to go to Ghana!
