Snow on April 8. Update: Flowering tree with bees on May 12.

I managed to get up at 2 a.m. to view the lunar eclipse, and I’m glad I did. It was spectacular. The photos weren’t so spectacular, but a few came out okay.

The Great Reno Balloon Race is held every year the week after Labor day. This morning the balloons passed over my neighborhood, including one landing just up the street.

A brush fire on Peavine Peak started on Friday 8/11/2006 in Verdi and burned 10 square miles of open land. This panorama (click on the photo to enlarge) was taken on the morning of 8/12/2006 from I-80 west of Reno, as we were escaping to the mountains. The fire was mostly contained by Sunday.

This has plenty of space and bandwidth, I hope, so I’ll be linking to there from here and likely from NevadaRambler.googlepages.com. I may play with creating my own publishing platform there later, but for now blogspot and googlepages is convenient.
