Bellagio Butterflies

Every month the gardens in the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas are moprhed from one theme to another. In April 2003, the theme was butterflies, and it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Strewn throughout the entire hotel, from the lobby, to the casino, to the high-end shops, was this incredible ribbon of vibrant butterflies. Hung from steel cords, it dipped and turned from ceiling to floor. Looking back, I wish I had gotten some better shots of it.

Check the CSS file, you’ll find all you need in there.

It *is* a shame you didn’t get more pics of this, as it looks gorgeous. The photo seems to cut off the motion on the left side, though. Oh well, still very nice color. Nice.

I think that you’ve found a “new” shade of green, there…”anomolous green”.

Your contrasting colors so enhance and illuminate one another, each seems transformed.

Thank you.

Thanks for all of the great observations, everyone! It truly amazes me what great readers (or shall I say viewers) I have. :)

Jayne, I’ve got the font set to Lucida Sans (Lucida Grande on a Mac), and in the sidebar the size is set to 10px.

Kathryn… I don’t *think* I’ve ever gotten a complaint, but just in case I ever do! ;)

Isn’t that garland actually a “caterpillar” of butterflies?
