I had a post all figured out and ready for today (Monday). And it wasn't this. But "upon further review" as they say in College Football, I noticed that I'd managed to stitch a Headless Bee (over one of course). Yes, you can still hear the echoes of the Primal Scream I let loose.
So if I regain my stitching composure I'll tackle the last bee - I dread the frogging more than anything else. In the mean time I have kitted up Heart in Hands, "Blessings" as a gentle seasonal reminder of what is important.
Today I thought I'd share some photos from The Bellagio in Las Vegas. The hotel has an amazing Conservatory and Botanical Gardens with rotating exhibits.
140 horticulturists work to maintain the gardens.
These photos were taken in September - thus an Autumnal display.
Charming in an "over the top" Las Vegas way!
This is a floral replica of Vik Muniz's "Montagne Saint-Victoire, seen from Montbriand". You can see the original painting here.
Lots of harvest themed displays...
including a Cornucopia!
The topiary horses were cute cute cute.
Very over the top, but great to see just the same.
ReplyDeleteJust love the horses!

ReplyDeleteThis isn't about your post today...I just noticed that you now have a November header. Lovely, as always. My fave is the bowl of fruit with the alphabet, but a couple of those pumpkins are pretty special, too. Nice work, as always.

I wondered what that noise was. :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe over the top but spectacular too. Really like the horses.
"Cute cute cute" is exactly what I thought when I saw the horses! Very cool pictures; thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the bee disaster! Over-one mistakes are the worst. Hope it works out OK!
I love your November pieces up top, they look great together!
ReplyDeleteIsn't Las Vegas fun? What cute pictures.
I love the horses too. :)
ReplyDeleteI love their gardens. Last time I was there it was Chinese New Year and the displays were fabulous. Thanks for sharing this one.
ReplyDeleteWow, what imagination!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the frogging, but at least now I know what that sound was that I heard echoing across the ocean. ;) Yeah, frogging over one--lawsie mercy. You have my sympathy.
