Thank you for sharing this memory with us.
Elles sont très belles et très naïves, mais joyeusement colorées. Bon séjour.
That would have been an interesting visit to the University's grounds.
Lovely murals Mae, thanks for participating in Monday Murals.
And you have cherry blossoms. Those are lovely. Charlottesville is a beautiful place.
It looks like a beautiful campus! Love those cherry blossoms and murals, too!
I’ve been to the UVA campus but it was some years ago. Thanks for sharing the memorial to enslaved laborers. I have not seen it.
I really enjoyed seeing the University of VA. What a treat to have a personal tour of the grounds. That memorial is amazing.
I never cease to be amazed at what "canvases" muralists will use. These are stunning.
