Even as winter slowly creeps onto campus, there is no lack of wildlife and beauty for students to catch as they walk to class or take a rest. Ducks have returned to the Duck Pond, now leisurely swimming on sunny days. The trees that have yet to lose their leaves that still glow bright yellow and red, while the rest have shed, covering the ground all over campus with leaves for crunching. A small helping of flowers continue to bloom near the Duck Pond, though most of the campus rose bushes have gone dormant ahead of the season’s first frost.
