On Monday, amidst the running of errands, I popped into the Bellagio to take a gander at the flowers they do seasonally in their garden area. I heard they had butterflies, so I had to go check it out. The butterfly part was depressing as hell, but the flowers were beautiful.
I didn’t take my good camera because I didn’t expect to be over there so the shots I did get were with my BlackBerry. Not bad photos for a phone camera, but I’d like to go again with the real camera.
This was the only decent shot I got of a butterfly. They were in a little glass garden shed thing, and several of them were dead. There was some really beautiful blue and red ones, but they moved too much.
This frog was pretty interesting, and I managed a decent shot of it. I like the brown wart like lumps they did on it. Very realistic.
This was my favorite photo of the day. The sun came in just right and lit up these flowers.
Less vibrant but equally pretty flower.
I had hoped that this photo would turn out better, but sadly it was a little hazy.
And last but not least:
A snail made from roses, almost poetic.
All in all, I spent less than 20 minutes there because there were far too many people to really enjoy it. Not to mention I’m allergic to anything that blooms, so by the time I left my whole face was red and itchy and I could barely breathe.
It certainly was beautiful though.
