Nature Friday at the Bellagio

Happy Nature Friday, howliday style, part deux!

Today, we're going to look at pictures Mama took from the Bellagio during her trip to Las Vegas!

The Bellagio was still in Autumn mode when the pawrents were there,

 the theme this Autumn was "Enchantment"

There were mushrooms covered in pretty colored flowers...

Beautiful Faeries

..and gorgeous sunflowers!

It all looks very whimsical!

They had a couple of pretty stone cottages covered with flowers with windows that looked like butterfly wings.

A beautiful "Lady in the Moon" looked on from up above with her 

friend the owl.

Of course, there was a faerie princess. Look at the beautiful flowers covering her skirt!

It really does look like a beautiful view!

Here is a short video Mama Made

You can also watch it HERE on our YouTube Channel

We hope you enjoyed the flower covered sights from the Bellagio Gardens and we hope everyone gets out to see some nature this weekend!

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

 

Travel Tuesday - Las Vegas Sights

As you may remember, our pawrents went to Las Vegas for the long Thanksgiving weekend.

Today, we thought we would take a  page from YAM-Aunty's Tuesdays and do a "Less Speak, More Peek" kinda post of Mama's pictures.

This is the new Las Vegas "Sphere". It's probably the coolest thing Mama saw on this visit.

Here is a video Mama took that gives you a fun look at it changing:

TT - Las Vegas, NM Part 1

Welcome to our Las Vegas Tour!! If you look over there...you'll see the Bellagi....Wait a minute! Hey Rosy, where is the Bellagio, the Las Vegas Strip..the Neon?!?!?!

Well Sunny, this isn't  THAT Las Vegas, the one in Nevada. This is the "other" Las Vegas....Las Vegas, NEW MEXICO!

The town was known initially as Los Delores de Las Vegas Grandes 

or Our Lady of Sorrows on the Great Meadows and was settled as early as the 1600s.

The town of Las Vegas was officially established in 1835 by a group of settlers who received a grant from the Mexican government.

The town is laid out in traditional Spanish Colonial Style. There is a central plaza, surrounded by buildings. These buildings would help protect the people in case of an enemy attack.

Yep, buildings everywhere Rosy...I know I feel safe, plus Daddy is close..

Oh Sunny, this was in the ancient times...even BEFORE Daddy was born!

Now...where was I...

In 1846, Stephen W. Kearny delivered a speech claiming New Mexico for the United States. The Pueblo people, along with Hispanos, challenged this claim a year later in the Battle of Las Vegas. In the end though, in 1912, New Mexico became the 47th of the United States. 

Mama says not to get her started on this....so we won't.

Thank you for joining us for some history of Las Vegas, NV. 

Join us Thursday to hear about the Las Vegas Railroad and some of the

people it attracted!
