Self spent some time traveling around the United Kingdom, in April/May/June. She is home now in California, but is spending a pleasant afternoon in reminiscence.
The first photgraph is of the dining hall of Christ Church College in Oxford, England. The “extra” was the glowing table lamp in the foreground (In general, self loves when she can include pictures of glowing lamps!). Can you imagine being a student at the college and getting to dine every day in such a setting. Plus they say Harry Potter actually got filmed here . . .
The second shot was taken from inside the chapel of Christ Church. The shaft of light from the door illuminates the floor, highlighting the pattern of tiles:

The “Meadow” Next to Christ Church is bordered by a wide promenade. How the dogs loved the puddles! Self just now noticed that the leashes of the two dogs in the picture (each have a different owner) form a perfect “X.”
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
