where I shut off all
of the external gadgets.
I go walk around,
talk to people,
and just live for a while.”

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.
The Earth Delights in You
“Forget not that the Earth
delights to feel
your bare feet
and the winds long
to play with your hair.”
