Mardi Gras

I feel that I must be honest... this post has almost nothing to do with Mardi Gras.  It wasn't taken on Mardi Gras- it wasn't even taken in February.  It was taken in June.  I wasn't at some party, throwing beads, drinking and eating massive amounts of donuts, I was standing on a path in the summer sunshine chillin' out.  This photograph wasn't taken in Paris, or Barcelona, or Venice or New Orleans... it was taken in Loughlin.  So, why were there Mardi Gras coloured streamers hanging from this railing?  Only the powers divine (and the event planner) know.

If you liked this, I'd like to suggest Courtyard.  Once again, it has nothing to do with this post, but it might go along nicely.

Dooo doo doo doo doooo....

It was an extraordinarily hot afternoon in Nevada, like over one hundred degrees farenheit, when my boyfriend and I decided to take a quick stroll outside of the casino.  However, it wasn't humid, so it was nowhere near as beastly as I just made it sound.  Anyways, there was a little tributary off of the Colorado River designed to run through the casino, and they had stocked it with koi.  I love koi.  This is the third photograph of them to appear on this blog.  They just eminate peace.  Especially when they happen to form the shape of a heart!
