Bellagio Conservatory is Transformed into Japanese Tea Garden in Las Vegas, Nevada
Fragrant cherry blossoms, graceful pebble fountains, delicate origami cranes, and exotic koi fish in a tranquil pond are a few of the eye-popping elements in this vibrant display. At every turn, thousands of fresh tulips, daffodils, snapdragons, and spring flowers blanket the ground among botanical animals enormous in size. Overhead ethereal hand-painted parasols appear floating in air. Linger among the bonsai trees, note the abstract stone art of Mount Fuji, and be inspired by the karma of the Far East recreated in the Bellagio Conservatory at Las Vegas.

Great Art is Inspired by Love

and Jesus all said…
that Love is really the driving principle
of the creative art. In fact,
they would say that great art
is always inspired by Love.”

Shadows in the Sun
“Most people think that shadows

beings or objects.
The truth is that they also
surround words, ideas, desires,
deeds, impulses, and memories.”
