A great thing about living in Connecticut is the large number of colleges and universities located here. It is so easy to frequent great libraries, lectures, author appearances, performances of all types, art exhibits, museums, sporting events, etc. because of the easy accessibility to so many institutions of higher learning.
This past weekend may have been one of the times where living near so many schools had a down side…traffic in Connecticut was made worse by all the graduations across the state. If you were lucky, you weren’t on the Merritt Parkway or Interstate 95 at the time any of the many ceremonies were concluding!
Congratulations to all the 2013 graduates and their families!
In the spirit of celebrating academia, and in tribute to all the 2013 graduates and their families, for today’s Friday field trip, I am sharing some of the beauty I find at Connecticut schools…all are photos I have taken within the past month on a Connecticut campus…there is so much beauty, it was hard to choose just a few photos! Enjoy!
And, for those of you welcoming home a college student for the summer, you may enjoy these Five Tips for Surviving Summer with Your College Student Home from the archives. Good luck!
Sorry I couldn’t get all the campuses in! Please feel welcome to share your favorite college campus photo on my facebook page.
Have a wonderful weekend, Jackie

What lovely photos! I’m sure it’s great to have so many great places so accessible. The dogwood is so lovely!
Love the depiction of Jesus.
The mosaics throughout that chapel are so amazing…the photo of the fish on my facebook page today was taken there also.
Gorgeous shots. Hope you’d find time to visit my Ixora.
Breathtaking!! Thanks for sharing :)
You should have been a photographer, or work on a magazine. Great job!
