Late spring — when flowers emerge and another class prepares to graduate – is one of the most beautiful times on the UW–Madison campus. This year was no exception, as the sun emerged after a cold early spring. All week, graduates in graduation gowns posed for photos at campus landmarks, as the newly emerged spring flowers looked on.
