…render here as it’s been cut down from 15,000+ pixels wide to a mere 2560. Seven images shot from the parking garage of the Silver Legacy Resort and stitched together, showing the aftermath of our first snow storm in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Continue reading Not sure how this Panorama will…

One of the things I love about Reno…
…is the community’s support for the Arts and discovering new murals while walking around downtown. This fish mural on a wall along the Truckee River is a perfect example of that love. Colorful and tells a story. Not sure it makes up for the paltry looking river, but it certainly helps Continue reading One of the things I love about Reno…

A mural nearing completion?
When I reported this mural back on July 13 I thought maybe it was nearing completion. You could tell it represented the area with the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Truckee River flowing through it.

A sign of warmer weather is upon us…
…when the Parks and Recreation crew hang the flower pots along the Riverwalk and along the path in Wingfield Park. The pots will be watered weekly and the flowers will end up hanging down over the edge approx 6 feet by season’s end. I’m always surprised that, by season’s end, vandals haven’t decimated the pots.
