Season's beauty portrayed in campus flowers

The beauty of the season is reflected in the many flowers that populate the Dahlka Garden on the south side of the Kleinpell Fine Arts building on campus. The garden, established in 2004 and dedicated to the late Dennis Dahlka, provides a peaceful place for study and relaxation. Photo by Jens Gunelson.
