Tomorrow is commencement at Caltech...

An email from a graduating student had me thinking of graduation. She mentioned that she felt shell shocked, which immediately reminded me of my own zombie state after finishing...whew, nothing like it!

I wandered from my office to take in the sights on the campus on this overcast day as students and parents and relatives and friends all prepare for the grand day tomorrow. White chairs already arranged on the green expanse of lawn in front of the Beckman Auditorium, white tents, cables, cameras, loudspeakers...

I took a few snapshots with the handy iphone...
A ceiling in my building at Caltech...


A pot of plants on campus...

A tile on the wall...

The hall outside of my building where graduates will be lining up tomorrow to do the walk...

You thought I'd forget the cat boys??? Not likely....
Here's Ollie cat

and there's Augustus boy!


Best wishes to all graduating or not...pawfuls of kitty kisses for all!

Ciao!

  5. We're staying in a rental cottage within walking distance of Caltech (and just down the street from my husband's old school -- their commencement seemed to be going on on our first day here)! Caltech has a beautiful campus, it's true. And we've been to a graduation, too, though his was in Santa Monica. I keep on wondering if we'll pass you somewhere out there . . .

    These are lovely pictures, as usual. And I'm sorry it's been so long since I've stopped by.
