a spring time walk


from my window at work, gazing longingly out at the sunshine through the (now flowerless) magnolia



and off i go!

outside the social sciences research building, bikes locked to the flowering trees (i don't know what they are, but these beautiful pink things are everywhere)

not that there aren't plentiful bike racks, but some have decided the pink trees are better, slender as they are



moving away from the ssr building in all its gothic glory. no ivy on this one, but i will take a photo of the broader courtyard, where the unfurling leaves are a glorious shade of green that are slowly overcoming windows and the carved faces of muses and scholars



traipsing past the lab school, with its fragrant rows of lilac bushes that i can only just resist running my hands through or plucking blossoms off of (secret: i pinched a few flowers and held them up to my nose for much of the walk). don't you wish your elementary school had lilac bushes to hide in?



past this effervescent and enthusiastic shared garden on kendall (or dorchester?) - both are overwhelmed with shades of green and flowers at the moment and make me smile




to my new building! as of september, i will be living on the top floor of this lovely old luxury resort, in a wonderfully spacious one bedroom with a view out over the lake. i cannot wait to make it mine.
