speed recap #3

Today (Monday) has us checking out of the Palm-springs resort and actually heading on holidays.
Lots of travel to get to where we're going, so today's recap will include some photos from Sunday.
Advance warning - it's mostly exotic animals.
The 'kids' area/business centre (what a weird combo) also has a terrarium with some interesting critters; like this bearded dragon...

...and a chameleon.

What a looker! :)

I have no idea what this guy is (checked, and apparently it's an iguana), but he was in the tropical section.

Delightful African spurred desert tortoise named 'scooter' in his outdoors enclosure.

The view on my walk from breakfast back to the room

A shot of the typical south-western architecture that surrounds the resort

It's also Academy awards evening - so Lisa and I are getting our picks in... For the first year in a long time, we've actually seen some of the nominees, 5 of the 9 best picture nominees!
By the time this post goes live - the awards will have come and gone; so here's a photo of our attempts at guessing what a bunch of 'artsy' types in Los Angeles will pick as their most 'worthy' films of the year. (The tick in the circle is my pick for what I think will win, while the mark next to the circle is what I'd like to see win - aka my head/heart picks)
Best of luck everyone!

Oh, the ducks came back...
Hi, there... Any chance of some more food?

Please...

Ok then, we'll just see ourselves out.


Thanks anyways.
..we'll see you in the morning
