Emmanuel College and Cambridge Botanical Gardens

 The garden at Fitz

 Emmanuel College where many Puritans went and later left for America. I applied there once.

 

 

 Heather at Cambridge Botanical

 

 It looks a bit like my favorite grove of pine at Dow Gardens.

 Mount Pleasant House... Reminded me of home.

 And the W.'s little front garden by the wall...

At the Punting Pole

Punting on the Cam River

Punting is the favored hobby here...

 A "wind in the willows" moment

 Bailing water out of "Henry VII"

 The Newton Bridge, designed by Newton himself.

 My favorite view in all of Cambridge...

We just lost our pole at the end here and had to double back for it.

Going under the bridge...

P. W. informed me that it is treason to hunt them since the swan is still the queen's bird.

 A bit eccentric of me (feeling somewhat guilty about it), but I have now bought a velvet "red coat" in England.
