There is nothing quite like taking a leisurely stroll around the Nevada State Capitol grounds on a mild fall day, snapping photos of autumn colors in all of their warm splendor.

This photo compilation was taken very recently as Nevada Day approaches and we celebrate the Silver State’s 152nd birthday.

To me, nothing says Nevada Day like fall colors downtown at the State Capitol.
