Ken Collins took these photos at Lake Nieheiser (Fraternity Circle) on campus. About the first photo, he writes, "Keeping the geese in a row. All followed the leader into the lake, out again, then back in again. Fun to watch."
The second two photos remind one of the lazy, hazy days of summer. Peaceful scene of lily pads and a dragonfly. Ken says, "They remind me of a watercolor painting."
