Mastro’s Ocean Club Gourmet Restaurant In The Shops at Crystals at Aria Resort and Casino — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Many are making love. Up above, the angels
in the unshaken ether and crystal of human longing
are braiding one another’s hair, which is strawberry blond
and the texture of cold rivers. They glance
down from time to time at the awkward ecstasy—
it must look to them like featherless birds
splashing in the spring puddle of a bed—
and then one woman, she is about to come,
peels back the man’s shut eyelids and says,
look at me, and he does.
— from Privilege of Being by Robert Hass

Magic Rocks Display in the Aria Resort and Casino, Las Vegas — Images by Kenne
One week ago, we received a call from Justin and Jerri. We learned that they were in
Las Vegas on their much-delayed honeymoon. They would be spending five days there
and asked if we would be interested in coming up to Vegas to have dinner with them.
After giving it some thought, we decided to drive up Thursday and return on Saturday.
We had dinner at Maggiano’s Little Italy on Las Vegas Boulevard that evening and
drove south of Vegas Friday afternoon to see the Magic Rocks in the desert.

This past Saturday (March 9th) we were in Las Vegas and watched some of the fundraising for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation ($500,000 Goal) at Nine Fine Irishmen-New York New York Hotel & Casino. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer-powered charity that funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government. This was a real entertaining and fun event.

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area Panorama by kenne
The Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is an easy 15-mile drive west of Las Vegas, Nevada. Located in the Mojave Desert with a beautiful desert landscape, but as a resident of the Sonoran Desert, I find the Mojave Desert very harsh. Like most deserts, the higher elevations are much more diverse in plant and animal life. This image was taken near the Visitors Center. A one-way paved loop road, 13 miles long, provides vehicle access to many of the features in the area and to more challenging primitive roads.

“One and Only” Wedding Picture
Joy and I had been partners for 16 years before deciding to elope to Las Vegas,
getting married at the Clark County Court House in 2002,
which distraught family and friends.
The couple who were our witnesses took the only picture —
Can you believe I didn’t have my camera!
We tend to do things in a non-traditional way.
Courthouse full of ghosts
No Vegas Elvis Wedding
Strangers our witness.

A beautiful day
I wait at the walk-up bar
At New York-New York.
The spring air is dry
As misters spray overhead —
Makes the air special.
The gaming goes on
Much to her delight inside
The casino halls.
My pint of Bass Ale
Getting low in the glass mug —
Time to order food.

Computer Art by kenne (Las Vegas, February 5, 2018)
Visitors
to Las Vegas
can be seen
standing
and waiting,
some up to
30 minutes
just to see
the fountains
of Bellagio,
truly one
of the best
free shows
in Vegas,
beautifully
choreographed to
Frank Sinatra singing
“One Singular Sensation.”
One moment
in its presence
provides a
thrilling
combination
in every move
as the water
rockets and
dances in front
of the Vegas
Eiffel Towel.

And if blue is an illusion,
what will become of innocence?
What will become of the heart
if Love has no arrows?
