Travel Theme: Gaudy

Gaudy? hmm… for a travel theme? I have to admit that the first place that came to mind when I thought about this challenge was Las Vegas.  So, I decided to post this photo:

ISO 100 28mm 0ev f/4.5 1/60

ISO 100 28mm 0ev f/4.5 1/60

I really liked this snail.  It doesn’t seem gaudy at all in the garden at the Bellagio.  Of course, it is among other floral displays like it and huge glass flowers.

I’m just thinking it would look pretty gaudy in my front yard.

Cheers!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Illumination

I am posting a few pictures today that I took awhile ago that fit the theme of illumination:

For me, these photos are nice, but not exactly what I was hoping to create.  They were taken at the Bellagio which is nowhere near where I am living now, so I can’t walk down the street to try again.  Here is the other thing, my brain was on vacation at the time.  That doesn’t make for stunning photography, but as nice reminders of my time off they are perfect.  Is there somewhere you wish you could visit again just to take better pictures?

Cheers!
