Wildlife photo opportunities. The most popular stars are the owls we see nesting in one of the palm trees. We see them each year but this summer they've picked an open view and can be easily spotted. They're nesting in a palm tree just north of the statues by the waterfall.
I copied these great photos from AJ Dove who posted them on Nextdoor. (Thank you, AJ, for sharing.) Almost any time of day, there will be spectators at the base, watching for the little chicks to pop up.
We had a new event added to our calendar! Today was the First Annual Cardboard Boat Regatta held at the main pool. How FUN! The event proved very entertaining and popular drawing a huge audience. Congratulations to all the participants who put so much effort into their creations.
When I first heard about the event, I envisioned small miniature cardboard creations being pulled across the pool on a string. Was I surprised to read the rules and guidelines.
Dusty Brown and his avid Karaoke followers won first place with "The Wobble" taking only 32 seconds to paddle down the length of the pool over to the announcer's stand.
The Black Palm must have won for the most awesome design.
The hardest part of the whole event was getting into the boats and staying afloat. Many laughs and cheers for ALL participants.
Thank you to John Ross for providing photos. You can see there was a huge turnout of spectators. I guarded my new knee by sitting back in a comfy chair in the shade.
We enjoyed burgers and hotdogs grilled at the Bistro. Food service will soon be switching over to Ballroom 1 for the summer schedule. Here's the newest posting:
This Monday we look forward to a new Bunco game. Sign up in Activities and bring $5 for a buy-in for prizes.
Our weather is warming up! Those that are still here had better dig out that sun screen!
