Day 155 and 156: Beauty (Truth)

One of the factors that you consider when you're picking a school is whether or not the campus is pretty. When you go on the SU website, you see the landscaping, the quad, the fountains, and the gazebo and you think that it's all photo-shopped and it couldn't possibly look like that in reality. Well, that is not the case with Shenandoah. Autumn is already a pretty time of year and it's especially gorgeous here. It's so pretty you just want to lounge outside and feel the breeze. I did that yesterday in the gazebo and read. (A picture of my view from the gazebo is below). The trees are stunning and the water flows so clear over the rocks. The only things that destroys the beauty is all of the construction but I think it's almost done. Over the tops of the buildings and the construction, you can see the mountains. I think the people were right when they said at convocation that this was the prettiest place on earth. It really makes you want to walk around singing "For the Beauty of the Earth." I love it here. The second photo is when a church friend came to visit my beautiful campus.
