Last week I went to Vegas for a few days... to help out a friend who needed some tech support stuff done, and who's also been dealing with health issues. But since they weren't getting up and around until 1 PM, I had the mornings to myself, and did a little photo work...
First day was the desert garden at Ethel M's.

Ethel M is the premium chocolate brand of M&M Mars, and for some reason they put one of their major factories in the middle of a blazing desert. But they leaned into it by putting a large desert garden onto the factory grounds, so credit for that!

For some reason, they were wrapping Christmas lights on many of the cacti.
Christmas isn't for another three months! I suppose it could be for Halloween, but some of them looked like the wrong colors to fit.
