One of the neat things about going home is the memories it brings back. And one of the most fascinating places to take pictures is at Stanford University. I drove 'the girls' (my mom and my aunt) out there to have a look around. -- A little bit of humor on the side: We scrounged for quarters and dimes to put in the parking meter; we got it up to 40 minutes and thought that would be enough. When it was time to come back, we noticed in very tiny writing on the back of the meter "except Saturday and Sunday". lol Oh well, the U needed our few quarters. hahaha
We wandered about the campus with no real destination in mind. Both my Dad and Uncle Jim worked out there back in '64 or so. And one of the things I have are pictures of me as a girl posed in front of this or that fountain, different places. So I revisited those as best I could. When I got home, I found I had these two pictures:
Same fountain; the building in the background is still the bookstore.
Sometimes its very neat to know that things don't always have to change!
(That's me in the red shorts, early 1966 I am assuming.
Then me in 2012.... 46 years later. wow)
This was my fav shot out there --
the archways there are gorgeous
and I love the play of sunshine as it streams across.
