Kim Johnson<\/em> – It\u2019s always a great day when my \u201cassignment\u201d is to take pictures. Today was one of those days. I ventured out with a camera in each hand to capture the College in the fall. (Click here<\/a> and here<\/a> to view.)<\/p>\n

I did this last year about this time and then again after we had our first blanketing snowfall in the winter. So today, while I still photographed the beautiful fall colors against the campus buildings, I also sought to find the photos I had never seen before – the stuff I\u2019d been missing.<\/p>\n

I recently read the blog of an acquaintance whose mother is just finishing treatment for breast cancer. In her blog she talks about walking the same path so many times we forget to look up and really see what\u2019s there. So today, I looked up!<\/p>\n

\"\"It\u2019s easy to see the bricks and windows and how those come together to form the shape of the buildings but today I noticed weathervanes; I found ornate decorations and patterns within structures; I found great resting spots all over the arboretum. Ever notice the metal decorations (pictured here) on Center Hall? (Perhaps they have a purpose but they remind me of butterflies.)<\/p>\n

I saw reflections in places I hadn\u2019t noticed before \u2013 like in the face of the Milligan Clock \u2013 and it\u2019s got four sides \u2013 that means four different reflections. The reflection of the Chapel can be seen in most buildings around campus and interestingly, it too looks different in each window.<\/p>\n

As I wandered around \u201clooking up\u201d I noticed more people. I received more smiles and greetings. It made me wonder how many details I\u2019m missing in the students, faculty, and staff around me. While I know there is a story behind the \u201cbutterflies\u201d on the side of Center Hall, how much better must the stories be behind the people in Center Hall. I can\u2019t wait to find out!<\/p>\n

Wabash has always been the quintessential college campus in my mind \u2013 the look, the feel, the smell, the students and professors walking together deep in conversation. But today, it got even better!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
