Under the jacaranda(s)

Culture finally got to fulfil her long-held ambition of recreating Godfrey Rivers 1903 painting "Under the jacaranda" this Sunday, with the aid of some hasher models and photographer Snappy. Hmmmm.


There were plenty of other jacaranda shots as well, and our hare and her assistants had helpfully dotted the trail with camera icons to indicate good photo ops. Pics this week come courtesy of Saucy Sous, Snappy, Cash Converta and Shockjock.

Walkers and runners met up at the entry to the great court -

(this is St Vladimir of Kiev, by the way. Now why didn't anyone try to recreate this sculpture?)

Revisiting the campus was quite a nostalgic affair; the walkers joined the runners for a traditional Chariots of Fire circuit of the Great Court - accompanied by the appropriate music.


An athletics festival provided extra entertainment during the on, on. As elite athletes ourselves, we were pleased to be able to offer encouragement and applause to the (slightly) younger competitors:

 
 
 
 

Potluck once again provided a varied and magnificent feast. Thanks to all for their contributions! And many thanks to our hare and her assistants for a scenic and thoroughly enjoyable trail!

 

 
 

It was good to see Hopalong again, and to hear of her academic success - she has graduated with a First Class degree, and is considering taking on Master's study! We also welcomed back Snappy from several weeks OS.
