Secret Gardens in Las Vegas

Summer Vacation photographs offer inspiration for the imagination. Here are a few that can offer inspiration to writers.

Amazing life-size glass flowers made of hand-blown glass spring upward toward the light-- Inspiring awe.

In a garden of glass, one often wonders if beauty is so fragile? Some beautiful things can endure if we are careful enough.

And in secret gardens, mythical creatures stand guard. They remain resolute in their duty to protect - inspiring those who wander within the walls.

There are special places meant for courageous hearts who venture off the beaten path into a world of delight.

These photos were taken at the Mirage in Las Vegas 2007. It was a great vacation, filled with wonderful sights. Beautiful secret gardens beckoned and amazed.

They're in Vegas... aren't they supposed to stay in Vegas? (You know, what happens in Vegas...)

Anyway, great story!

Ah yes Kerrell, you are so right. That was a pact my girlfriends and I made while we were there. But you know how difficult it is to keep a secret sometimes, LOL.

The photos didn't come through in the article but I wish I could have seen them.

Really? The photos can't be seen? I can view them. I wonder why others cannot.

The one photo is elegant. I especially liked your description. It is poetic.

The glasswork looks like Dale Chihuly's work. I was fortunate to see his "Undersea" exhibit here in Phoenix. His work is just incredible. Thanks for sharing. Otherwise I think it could possibly be Michael Chihuly?

You can see them if you click on them but they would have been better viewd if you put them directly into the article. You can do that still by clicking on eACH PHOTO INDIVIDUALLY AND THEN DRAG & DROP IT INTO THE BODY OF THE ARTICLE.
