Springtime in Cantabrigia

Spring is beautiful in Cambridge. Hundreds of flowers come into blossom, transforming an otherwise gloomy wintery Cambridge into an enchantingly vibrant Cambridge, resplendent with colo(u)r, beautiful garden smells, and more sunlight than the winter. Below is an assembly of some of the most beautiful spring scenes taken from Peterhouse's Deer Park and Scholar's Garden.

This picture is taken neither from the Deer Park or the Scholar's Garden, but by the green outside of the Squash Court of Peterhouse, behind St. Peter's Terrace, which is literally my back yard.

The crocuses came in early March.

Nothing short of gorgeous.

From the Deer Park, hundreds of daffodils beautifully frame the hallowed halls of Peterhouse.

That's the Fitzwilliam Museum in the background, which is right at the edge of the Deer Park of Peterhouse. There were once deer actually running around in the park.

The trees are just starting to bud in Deer Park. The Fitzwilliam is to the building to the left.

The Deer Park becomes a sea of daffodils in the Spring.

Every day I leave from my flat at St. Peter's Terrace, I walk through the Scholar's Garden of Peterhouse, which is also where we play croquet.

Sun soaked daffodils in the Scholar's Garden on Good Friday.

Though Good Friday service at King's College Chapel may have more resembled a funeral (in terms of the somberness of the music), the day decided to become especially sunny and beautiful. Unlike Peterhouse, King's College does not have have remotely the same density of glorious daffodils on their grounds.

Colo(u)rs contrasting spectacularly in the Scholar's Garden of Peterhouse.

Back at the Deer Park on Good Friday, daffodils blossom with the Peterhouse Combination Room and the Fellow's Garden in the backdrop.

The Peterhouse crest adorns the gate leading to the Fellow's Garden, reflecting the gorgeous sunlight of the remains of Good Friday.
