Images taken on a walk along the Truckee River on a cloudy Saturday..
The top of the Reno Arch, that spans Virginia St..
Looking down the Truckee River towards downtown. this one was taken with my film SLR, the other two, with my 6.2mp digital point and shoot.
Looking across the Truckee River, from Rock park, towards the Atlantis Casino with Slide Mountain in the background. While, as I mentioned, I took this one with my little digital, I also took the same shot with my film SLR, so I'm going to be interested in how they turn out.
I don't think I've seen Reno this lush and green for a long time. All thanks to what is turning out to be the third wettest June on record. I think we are only a tiny fraction of an inch of it being the second wettest..
Now, go to MY WORLD TUESDAY where people from all over our globe , show off their little corner of the world !
I go to Reno once or twice a year and yes never seen it this green too. I haven't explored the Truckee river area either. I think it's time to go. Hows the temp?
ReplyDeleteHaving never been to Reno, I will take your word for the current green-ness of it. And here we've been pretty dry up in the Seattle area.
ReplyDeleteTerrific shots! Does seem unusual to see such lovely green there, but then I haven't been to the area in quite some time, so I may have just forgotten. Great post!
ReplyDeletemust be interesting to jog by the river. i like the one with the mountain background. very nice.
ReplyDeleteMy world entry is up here
Looks like a lot of fun. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Karen, Id love to visit Reno one day, especially for the air races.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week

What a beautiful walk - thanks for taking me along!
ReplyDeleteI love the last pic.
The cloud looks like it's going to swallow the mountain!
Thanks for shraing the delights of your home city!
ReplyDeleteIt look like a storm is coming in! MB
ReplyDeleteLove the river and the last shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. I really like the view in the 2nd one. One of these days I'll make it to Reno. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe pictures did turn out very interestingly Karen. Love that one with clouds especially. My heart is closer to nature.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, Reno is so scenic. Thanks for sharing, also your visit to my blog.
ReplyDeleteAll the pictures turned out great, but I were to pick one, I'd definitely choose the third picture. I love the composition!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog :)
Ah, Reno in all it's glory.
ReplyDeleteI love the countryside around Reno. Lovely!
The only thing I know about Reno- you can get a quick divorce there. It looks quite lush in places and that top shot just love the bold lettering.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots !! Really loved the building and the sky..Great..Unseen Rajasthan
ReplyDeleteI think you are getting all of our rain! Send a little back to us! Lovely photos. Love seeing the clouds over the mountains. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! You just reminded me that I didn't play along on My World yet today too! Hope you're having a great day! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour home looks like a neat place.
ReplyDeleteKaren: A fun look at your town and the river.
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous and as you say very lush and green. I love the clouds over the mountains shot.
ReplyDeleteWow! Great pictures! I've never been to Reno but it definitely looks like a great place to visit. I love playing tourist in my city, too. We'll be doing that this weekend, when my brother and his wife come to visit!
ReplyDeleteYou live in a very beautiful city!
ReplyDeleteAll that greenery is definitely not something I'd expect to see in Reno. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteLove your Reno photos - it is unusually green there. We passed through in May on our way to Sacramento.
Does the Truckee river always flow I know from here when we don't have rain our rivers turn to trickles. Great snaps.
