Spring in Full Bloom

Spring Arrives in Reno -

Spring is in full bloom here in Reno! Never before have I lived in a city with so many cherry trees. It certainly came as a big surprise, since cherry blossoms are not usually what people associate with Nevada. The university campus, in particular, is beautiful this time of year. The large elm trees that line the historic quad have leafed out and the grass is a brilliant green. Holly and I are beginning to prepare the garden for summer.

Autumn colors in Reno -









Fall has arrived in Nevada and even though we live in the desert there are abundant opportunities for viewing the colors. Whether hiking through aspen groves at Tahoe, mountain biking through canyons of cottonwoods, or basking in the afternoon sun on the UNR campus autumn colors are everywhere.
