I was hungry from traveling and on my way to lunch at The Venetian, but I kept getting distracted. Everywhere I looked, I saw something I wanted to photograph. That’s Vegas.

In the middle of a large shopping area stood a tree with glistening flowers. They caught my eye from a distance, but when I moved closer, I noticed the little birds perched on its branches. Of course, I had to take a closer look—and a few photographs.

I eventually made it to Grimaldi’s Pizzeria. I’ve eaten there before, and it’s the pizza that keeps me coming back.

I prefer Coke over Pepsi, and this restaurant serves Pepsi. That’s how good the pizza is.
