So in Love

Strange dear, but true dear

When I'm close to you dear

The stars fill the sky

So in love with you am I

This has to have been one of my favourite centerpieces of all time.  It's from my boyfriend Danny's mother's wedding a month ago.  On ever table, there was a white rose, surrounded by smooth river stones and three pure white candles.  Once the lights were dimmed for the dancing to begin, the centre of each table lit up with beauty.  I loved it, and I hope that you do too!

Did this make you want to sing a little old love tune?  Take a look at To Die, To Sleep, and read yourself a little love sonnet.

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.

As Seen From Below

A chandelier in the casino.  I took this while standing almost directly below it- I never think to look at things that way.  This might sound corny, but it reminded me that there are multiple ways to view everything, in art, and in life.  

Thanks, chandelier.

All You Need Is Love

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!

The Light Within

This lamp is in the Colorado Belle, a casino and hotel I visited a few weeks ago for Danny's mom's wedding.  The whole thing was rather fun.  The hotel was Mississippi steam boat themed, and all of the decorations were a bit kitschy.  This lamp and corresponding wall paper were two of my favourite decorations.
