We have lived in Las Vegas for a long time. From zip lines and car racing to the Bellagio’s world-famous fountains and the Mandalay Bay Beach, experiencing all of Las Vegas’ attractions is like riding a roller coaster. You could move here and live to the age of 100 and you still wouldn’t run out of things to do in Las Vegas. In addition to the casinos and shows, there are zoos, theaters, aquariums and galleries. The Mob Museum offers a glimpse into Vegas’ illustrious and notorious past, while the Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage offers a glimpse into the undersea world far away from our desert landscape. The Mohave desert is a great place to get away or you could play golf on one of several dozen golf courses. For us, the restaurants are among the world’s best.
If you love flowers, plants, birds and animals, then you are in the right place. I love nature photography and combined with my love of birds, flowers and travel I have decided to create a place to present photographs and information on my favorites. This is a revision of my previous website traveltoeat.com since I become old (and fat) and I have become more interested in photography than eating.
I live in Las Vegas but I travel frequently in the southwest, California and in fact around the world. While Las Vegas would seem to be an unusual choice with regards to plants and birds it is an unusually busy place due to Pacific Migration Flyway which comes through Las Vegas. Since this is a desert, the birds are concentrated in the many springs, seeps, lakes and parks in and around Las Vegas, making for really great birding.
Since the previous blog focused on travel and eating, there will be a fair amount of focus on history beautiful architecture and food. However, both in the past and today I am always interested in a good garden, zoo, safari or hike.My idea of a perfect day is to be surrounded by flowers, insects, animals and birds, I hope my photographs and descriptions will inspire you in your own travels and hikes.
