Campus colors

May 10, 2009 by Site Administrator

near the campus theatre building I didn’t have to go far to discover some lovely pre-summer color. PVCC’s campus hosts a variety of desert trees and plants.
The Palo Verde trees outside the bookstore are in full bloom. I couldn’t help but wander underneath the yellow canopies and peer up to see brilliant blossoms against the blue May sky. cacti outside bookstore

I watched in wonder as a soft wind blew through branches causing some yellow blossoms to fall gently to the ground even showering petals on thorny cacti.

Outside the theatre building, yellow petals mingled with the grass lining the pathway as a welcome sign for guests attending ongoing shows.

The whole nature seemed to be celebrating the coming of summer. Although I was comforted by the beauty, I knew it was deceiving. In a matter of weeks, the trees would have shed their blossoms and we would be left to face the relentless summer heat.

PVCC has a lot of different, colorful plants. The prickly pear get the most gorgeous pink flowers I’ve seen. I think this all adds to the calming vibes that I feel on campus. Thanks for the photos and the thoughts.

Thanks for the comment.
If one can live through the summer and still love the desert, then we have a case of a madman.
(No offense intended. I love the desert too.)
