In the sun.

It's been said that it's always the female students lolling about, sunning themselves on the hill. But see:

05/05/05 -- Bascom Hill, Library Mall.

A boy!

Down on Library Mall, the cherry trees are reaching the end of their glamorous show, lots of people are having nice al fresco lunches ...

05/05/05 -- Bascom Hill, Library Mall.

.... and a couple of people are staking out the anti-war position:

Did you notice the hand-done "Stop waging war on women" sign nearby? I was particularly confused by that one. Although maybe there was something else going on on the speaker's platform that I missed...

Abraham: These young people seemed very modest and mellow to me. One thing I thought, taking that picture and deciding to post it, was how they set up in the most pleasantly lush, shady spot. Meanwhile, the young people serving in Iraq are working very hard and very much not in the shade. Yet, of course, these anti-war activists would say how much they care about those serving in Iraq and that's exactly why they want to bring them home.

The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
But now the theory goes
That the apple's a rose,
And the pear is, and so's
The plum, I suppose.
The dear only knows
What will next prove a rose.
You, of course, are a rose
But were always a rose


-R. Frost

Thanks for the great poem!

I don't know why I think those are cherry trees. I'll try to find out. You sound like you know.
