March 12 of 12

Welcome to my March entry of 12 of 12. Check out Chad's website who started the 12 of 12 movement and to see what everyone else did today. I was once again in Las Vegas for the 12th. My day was pretty boring, just a few interviews, so here are some pictures from the most interesting parts of my day.

11:30 am Outside of Las Vegas - Just north of the city is the turn off to get to Mt. Charleston. I've never been there so I decided to take a drive that way during some of my down time. I didn't get all the way there but this is one of the pull offs I stopped at.

11:30 am Outside of Las Vegas - I'm fascinated by the mountains that surround Las Vegas, especially with the contrast between the colors on the mountain and the colors of the desert.


11:30 am Outside of Las Vegas - Mt. Charleston in the distance, and a ski area on the right.

6:30 pm Bellagio Conservatory - I skipped the middle part of my day since all I did was interviews, in which I can't take pictures. After dinner, I went over to the Bellagio to see the Spring exhibit. It was a garden full of tulips, one of my favorite flowers, so I was pretty excited!

6:30 am Bellagio Conservatory - A ball of flowing water in the exhibit.

Thanks for sharing my day with me. I hope you were able to see some beautiful things today too! See you agin next month.

  2. I heart tulips.

    The mountains make me miss home and places with four seasons.

  4. One of these days I'll see Vegas, I want to stand in front of the fountain, like in Ocean's 11! So it's nice to see a little of it now ;-)
