A Great Day in Paradise

Oh my gosh…………Another beautiful day at Palm Creek.  Don and I rode all around the park this morning just enjoying the scenery and stopping to chat with friends and strangers alike.  Everyone always seems in such an upbeat mood.  Here is a batch of miscellaneous photos we took as we toured the park this morning.  We had no destination in mind…..just took a cruise.

Waved at the water aerobics folks up in the north pool.

Stopped up at the north end to see how the new bark park is coming along.  Looks like the grass is coming in nicely.  (No…that’s not rain puddles.  I think its just an over active sprinkler.)

The gardens look awesome!  Lots of tender loving care going on here.  Horticulture at its finest.

We met several teams of landscapers out delivering the pots of petals that were purchased at the Welcome Back party.

Site 1788 is now the home of several planters.  Lookin’ good!!

Sure can tell that the residents along Oasis are returning as their street looks nice and cheery with new plants, yard ornaments….and lit up palm trees.  One of the neighbors is really camera shy, however, and he wouldn’t come out from behind the tree!

Another new park model under construction along Oasis.  I think it’s Site 1873.  (I think.)  Somebody tell Jerry Smith he’s getting a new neighbor.

Whoops………….another flower delivery.  I like to photograph the hard working landscape crew.

Aha……up front we found Fernando helping to load up the carts and giving instructions for more deliveries.

Next we drove through the non pet side of the park and laughed when we saw this scene.

And we found more “pets” over there.

Dave Hardy is a good friend of Don’s so Don said I had to add Dave here as another odd looking pet.

We came across a cheerful group of Red Hatters enjoying a great brunch in the warm sunshine!

We were even invited for a cup of coffee!  Thanks for the friendly greeting!

We noticed the front parking lot was busy with incoming rigs full of folks who want to share our fun and sun.  Rangers and hostesses were busy greeting the newcomers.

On the way home we stopped to watch the players at shuffleboard.
