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

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.
