It makes me sad that there are some things that will never be done justice by a photo. I am sitting on the main quad right now and it is overcast and blustery and the seeds from the great magnificent oaks are shedding all around me. Because even if I could get the image down I will never be able to get on film the sound of the wind going through the leaves. Or the birds singing. Or the sound of the bells from Rockefeller Chapel.

P.S. Everyone should come over just to feel the grass on this quad. It is transplanted from a sod farm in Iowa because a lot of the grass dies in the Winter but holy fuck is it soft. And there are no mosquitoes or ants in it, either. And it's Spring and the world is green and birds are a-singing and everything is alive. You will never believe how many tulips there are in the city of Chicago.
