Random photos, mostly from our visit to Scripps during Parents Weekend.
I've tried to keep all the photos under 500KB in size, there are a couple
that are just over that.
The originals are almost 3MB in size, so the camera can really crank up the
resolution.
- Scripps_Lib_Rare_Books_Section
The rare books section of the library, the decor is warm and pleasant as you can see.
- Gutenberg_1
This introduces a leaf of the Gutenberg Bible that is kept in the Rare Books section of the Scripps Library. Photos of the leaf follow. They were very nice about photos, even allowed flash. The students can come in and genuinely touch some impressive books.
- Gutenberg_2
The leaf, front side.
- Gutenberg_3
The leaf, back side.
- Library_Chant_Illustration_3
Another rare book in the library.
- flower_3
random flower
- halloween_flower_eye
Over Halloween the girls painstakingly paste eyes on the flowers. Funny. This one eye remains from last Halloween.

Katy showed us your name, obviously it's quite close to her room.

Another shot.
- scripps_area_1
Just a photo of the grounds.
- scripps_area_2
Ditto.
- Scripps_View
Grounds view again.
- Seal_Lillies_Large
I was in Seal Court. Got up on the ledge and pointed the camera down. It looked like a good shot so I took it. Look closely, you can see the large orange fish in the pond.
- theatre_stage
Impressive threatre refurbishment. The old seats were removed, refurbished and replaced. They were willing to buy new seats but could not, at any price, find seats that were as robust and comfortable as those originally in the theatre.
- Threatre_mural
One of several murals in the theatre lobby.
- courtyard_mural
One of many murals in the courtyard, got a reasonably good photo of this one
