I'm on pool chair duty this morning, saving seats for Renee, Pam, Debbie, and me at the pool.

Detail Breakers
We drove down to Palm Springs to walk around The Breakers hotel. What a beautiful property!
The details in the decor - the carpeting, woodwork, and upholstery on the walls - are awe-inspiring. The oft-used phrase "they don't make 'em like this anymore" entered my mind multiple times.
They really don't.
I noticed the upholstery on the wall first, then I noticed the fabric, which was beautiful and richly textured. Then I noticed the details – look at the double beads around the border, with the aligned stripes.
I don't know this couple, but the hallway and door framed them nicely!
Again, the details! This is a tight shot of a gate similar to the one in the previous photo.
The humidity was quite high, so my lens had a bit of condensation on it for all the outside photos. Lightroom's dehaze tool helped, but I'm not entirely happy with any of the outside shots. I love this one, though - Debbie, Pam, and Renee in the courtyard. They had just finished shopping and were just...happy.
