Yesterday was Thanksgiving, and I figured that campus would be mostly deserted, and no one would get mad at me for parking wherever. I was right.
It was only around 25 degrees out, so being able to just park wherever was crucial so I didn't have to get my kids out. I could just hop out and leave my car running. I had planned to maybe take some pictures of buildings, bell towers, whatever. But, nothing really spoke to me. It was a cold day yes, but the snow was dismal and most everything just looked dead and brown. Not too pretty. There was however a pond that was filled with geese and two swans.
So we stopped next to the pond and I got out to chase them. Which turned out to be unnecessary, I guess they are pretty used to people. Then let me walk right up to them, and through them, and beside them. I don't doubt they wouldn't have cared it I actually touched them either. But it made it very easy to take a few pictures.
I'm glad I went up there, I had been wanting to take pictures of the those birds for a little while. But campus is usually too overrun with students glued to their iphones.
I hope it snows or frosts soon, I love taking sparkling white pictures in the winter.
