Far above the golden valley
Glorious to view,
Stands our noble Alma Mater,
Towering toward the blue.

Lift the chorus ever onward,
Crimson and the blue
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater
Hail to old KU.

Far above the distant humming
Of the busy town,
Reared against the dome of heaven.
Looks she proudly down.

Greet we then our foster mother,
Noble friend so true,
We will ever sing her praises,
Hail to old KU.

Students join in Crimson and Blue song

Cheerleaders leading the song

Hail to old KU

Sunrise from Campus

Some mornings sunrise is just spectacular. Most of us just do not get to see it because of our habits of late rising or being busy in morning rush.

Here some sunrise moments recently captured.

I really have no words to describe ...

 so just thought of sharing them..

 

 with you all.

 

Deer at Clinton Lake Nature Reserve

Saw few deers in the park. Light was poor since it was late. There were three of them, but vanished in the woods. So could get only one decent photo.

Sunset at Clinton Lake

Visited Clinton Lake in the evening and the sky was beautifully colored.


There were people enjoying fishing.


The shades of colors from blue, orange, red, purple ....



Even the wall of the check dam was spectcular in the evening light.
