Somebody Pinch Me...

As giddy as I am about returning to my beloved America (more to come on the new house and job), I am equally as thankful about having a few more months in England. Spring has sprung, and the April showers are bringing some ridiculous flowers. On the way home from meeting my friend Zoe for tea, I had to stop multiple times to employ the point-and-shoot. Eventually, I dismounted entirely from my bike. I felt I had become a danger to pedestrians by the way I was wildly swerving and gawking and admiring my surroundings. Luckily, the city is virtually empty because everyone is still on Easter break; so, no tourists were harmed during the making of these pictures.

I think I have pointed out this sundial(?) tower in the Senate House Passage before. But, it always catches the light in such a perfectly regal way.

Matthew and I often cross that little wooden bridge on our way into the city center. I gasp every time I see the carpet of wildflowers in the shade under the trees.

See how empty the river is? Not too many punts on a gorgeous afternoon, which is another indicator that everyone is at home for the term break. The views of the Backs from this bridge are some of my favorites.

I loved the dark rain clouds in the distance. They magnified the gorgeous bright colors of the foliage, bridges, and boats.

I've probably ridden past this building thousands of times and hardly noticed it. I've never been to Virginia, but this is what I imagine it to look like for some reason.

And yeah, I don't even know what to say about this one.

Seriously, somebody pinch me. I must be dreaming.
