"Ladybug & Cactus Flower" ~ I wandered upon this fine ladybug hanging out in the Spring bloom of a Cholla Cactus while in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area one afternoon. Beyond the Las Vegas Strip, finding colorful subjects to photograph in the Nevada desert can certainly be challenging, so I was delighted!
"Modern Vegas IV" ~ Vignette of Cleveland Clinic's chaotically beautiful Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in downtown Las Vegas. The undulating stainless steel covered structure was designed by the master of deconstructivist architecture, Frank Gehry.
"Gator!" ~ An ominous alligator floats by with a reflection of itself in a Kiawah Island pond.
