I remember an art teacher once saying that and it really resonated with me. I try to make the effort to do that now, especially when on the bus. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15199713061817220413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640928856322776096.post-87076892129143220172017-03-30T13:41:17.665-07:002017-03-30T13:41:17.665-07:00You did have a beautiful day for a walking tour, a...You did have a beautiful day for a walking tour, and your photos are lovely.

In my mind's eye, I can see a sun-drenched "High" and walking around Christ Church Meadow and along the River Cherwell to cool down as we were there during a heatwave. You're so lucky to work there, but it's true that you tend to take your own city for granted. I often walk around Antwerp in my lunch break, trying to see it through a tourist's eyes. Thank you for sharing those lovely photos which bring back so many happy memories. xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640928856322776096.post-11352853311636320442017-03-30T09:21:41.186-07:002017-03-30T09:21:41.186-07:00Oxford is a wonderful city and you are very lucky ...Oxford is a wonderful city and you are very lucky to work there.

Always good to reconnect with our everyday places, see them differently.
