Great pictures Ursula! I have never been to Pennsylvania - it looks awesome. Love to see trilliums in the forest - they are a little harder to find around here.

These are pictures of Idlewild Park in Old Reno. The land, 50 acres, was a gift to the city (from the state of Nevada) on the completion of the first transcontinental highways (Highway 50 and Hwy 80) in 1927. It must have been pretty wild and woolly back then - my Uncle, who was born in 1928 - says it became home to a herd of Antelope.

The geese and ducks have become year 'round residents. Apparently, flying south for the winter is over-rated. Every park and golf course in the city have a flock of geese and ducks.

Someone stacked these rocks in the middle of the Truckee River last fall when the river almost went dry.

It was raining. Except over there.

Rainbow trout by mosaic artist Eileen Gay. I think it was done about 10 years ago.
