Denver's temperatures have been in the upper 70s for most of the past week, and pretty white buds are coming out on all the trees around here. In the center of Evans Avenue, near the University of Denver's Driscoll Center, where the DU Bookstore - my former employer - is located, a line of these white budded trees bloom every year, as well as on the campus itself, as seen in the photograph above. Sadly, while Denver has many days in the 70s and 80s during the spring, it also usually has a snow storm every so often, and when one of these hits, the white buds disappear and grow back green, ending the spring colors all too quickly. And by the way, the tower in the photograph above is the only thing that is left of the Buchtel Memorial Chapel, which burned down in 1983. And no - I had nothing to do with it.
