Here are a few photos of my marvelous three weeks in the Oxford Summer Writing Program.I was at Exeter College. Its dining room (or Hall, as the Brits like to call it) is the inspiration for the opening scene in Phillip Pullman's The Golden Compass. Scenes from the film, which opens in December, were shot here and in the garden. And the food was good too!
Best,
Joan

September 16: So, I took advantage of getting into the Bronx Zoo with my company ID. It was difficult (with my feeble photography skills) to take pictures of distant, moving animals, while standing behind glass, screens, and millions of strollers. But you get the idea...
(By the way, what is up with weekend subway schedules?! I spent three hours in transit! Sheesh!)
A polar bear contemplates taking a dip.
Snow leopards rumble.
Rare Père David deer spar.
Awwww.
