There are so many things to look at while you're on Purdue's campus but one thing that I love is just the nature that surrounds us everywhere. Yes, there are beautiful, historic buildings each way you turn but Purdue has done a great job of keeping nature alive. There are trees left and right and lawns are pretty much always well kept and when the sun is shining, it makes it even more beautiful. I think its just one of those things that we take for granted everyday. I mean, we see trees and grass all the time! What's so great about that? We often don't have time to sit and dwell on these things but when you really think about it, those trees are just as much a part of history as are the buildings at Purdue. They've been around for a while.
I can't wait until Autumn and the leaves show us all their colors! Its my favorite time of year; right before the leaves fall and before it turns cold, when all you need is your little jacket and a pair of jeans and the trees are beautiful. So go recognize all the beauty before it turns blistering cold and the new beauty of SNOW comes in!

I totally agree with you. The trees and lawns are well kept and amazing. Although I admire the different varieties and shapes of trees at Purdue everyday I never thought of them as being old. Some of them should have been there since Purdue was opened. Places were we sit to admire nature, to do homework or perhaps just to take a nap might have been the same place where great people like Neil Armstrong or Amelia Earhart would have done identical things! Thanks for giving us a great insight. Next time I walk on campus, I’ll be sure to think of what it means to be a part of history. I’m so ready to see the trees changing…it must be an amazing site especially around the Windsor halls.
