Spring on campus

England: Nottingham. Spring is springing here. We’ve had a month of daffodils and crocuses, and now the tulips are starting to blossom. It is such a joy to see the gardens, sidewalks and traffic circles burst into colour. The university grounds are also liberally scattered with flowering bulbs, so we get a visual treat every time we go onto campus. The main campus has a massive lake (probably bigger than 2 rugby fields), and the business school campus (Jubilee) has a smaller one, both full of swans, geese, ducks and coots. In the centre of the Jubilee lake is the library, which is a cone-shaped building – very mod and rather attractive.
