PRETTY AS A PICTURE

CELEBRATING COLOR 
AT THE BELLAGIO
    There is a lot about Las Vegas that is, can we agree on
the word "excessive?" The Scot's blood in me can't help but
swirl about a bit. The place is a haven of money-spent. But
at the Bellagio it has purchased beauty, on a grand scale of course.  The garden is a marvel and so too is the Dale Chihuly glass art. They provided this blogger a chance to 
reprise some color for you.








The frame below is a tribute to the Monet exhibit on display at the Bellagio Fine Art Gallery, an affiliate of the Boston Museum of Fine Art.  BTW, seeing that show is money well
spent, according to this tightwad.  It is nicely curated and 
presented.
   And as you know, you can't go anywhere without going through the Casinos.  That's just the way they design and lay out the foot traffic. So, despite what is a prohibition from shooting in the gaming rooms, here's an accidental
snap.  While it is lacking in players, don't you think it looks
a bit anemic, by comparison?
See you down the trail.

  1. Are those tulips I see? I think someone just wrote a post about those! I love the Monet homage; it truly resembles the painting. Your pictures are brightening up what is a gloomy day (week) for us here in Portland.

  2. Glad to be of service. That Monet tribute started me thinking about a new school of flower arranging.

  3. After coming home from a trip to the excessive NYC, your colors in Vegas were very welcome. The Weather was blustery and so were most of the people. Some few were remarkable.
    Before leaving INDY, at the airport a small child stood in the chair row behind me and announced: "I'm a kid." Happily I replied: "So am I." With some concern written over her face: "No, you can't. You are too big." I assumed she was not remarking about my girth. She was full of mirth... and off on her way. -w-
