On the way down from Lee Canyon, I was blessed with this beautiful sunset. I just had to wander out into the desert for some photos.

Deer Creek Road
One of my favorite outings from Las Vegas is a drive out to Deer Creek Road. It is so magical how you can quickly transform from the desert to mountains. And the drive only takes about 45 minutes from the Vegas Strip, depending on the traffic. The views here are gorgeous, and you just might run across some wild donkeys or horses, which are native to the area.
The Venetian
The View
I always recommend parking at the top level of the parking garage. You never know what the view will offer.
Vegas Sights
I still have some vacation time to burn before the end of the year, so I flew off to Las Vegas for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Here are some photos from my walking about this evening.
A Walk along the Seawall
One of the best sights along the Seawall in Galveston is the Pleasure Pier. If you have been, and are missing the view, you can check out the surfcam. It will remind you how nice it is to have the opportunity to visit in person.
Hermit Crabs
A collection of Hermit Crabs for purchase can be found at Murdoch’s in Galveston. Also, a little known secret about this gift shop on the Seawall is that they have a great patio overlooking the Gulf with rocking chairs to relax in for a while. But still, the Hermit Crabs are the most fun in the place.
Moody Gardens Aquarium Pyramid
If you find yourself in Galveston on a cloudy day, the Aquarium Pyramid at Moody Gardens is a great place for some indoor fun.
Beachtown
Located on the East side of Galveston Island, Beachtown is always one of my favorite places to launch a sunset walk on the beach. The homes are beautiful and if you time things right, you might just have the whole beach to yourself.
Cockrell Butterfly Center – The Butterflies
Yes. This is what you came for. 🙂
