Perfectly Exquisite 

“It was in the 1920s, 

when nobody had time to reflect, 

that I saw a still-life painting 

with a flower 

that was perfectly exquisite, 

but so small you really 

could not appreciate it.”

~ Georgia O’Keeffe

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. 

Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia in Bloom

Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia in Bloom. Trees are budding, flowers are awakening from underground slumber, sunshine beckons those outdoors to sit and revel in the beauty of Spring. A picnic lunch from The Cheese Shop provides mile high sandwiches, loaded with quality ingredients, on freshly baked breads for dining al fresco. Well done, Colonial Williamsburg!

The Touchable Star

We need to find God, and He cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.”

~ Mother Teresa
