Views of the Neighborhood – Pools . . .Yes Pools

~ John W. Howell

First, a note of appreciation to our veterans. Thank you so much for your service and sacrifice

Memorial day
 

I have to admit there was nothing going on in Port Aransas this week. I have wanted to do a pool feature for a while. Could I do it in the summer when the water is blue, the temperatures in the 90s, and there are tons of happy people around the pool? No, of course not. Needed to wait for a rainy, cloudy, and in the 50’s. Put on your overcoat and come with me.

Here is the entrance to the pool at Cinnamon Shores the biggest community in the area.

This is an infinity pool. There is a pond in the background.

Mustang Royale is a community next to where I live.

The pool is a little smaller than the last.

This is our community.

  2. Thanks for the cool pool tour, John. I agree, the Palmilla Beach Resort looks nice, but I’m drawn to the infinity pool, too. Thank you to all of the veterans would have served and those who continue to serve our great county. God Bless America!

  5. Thank you for the tour, John. I love the infinity pool. I’ve never had or lived by a pool, but I live by a lake and love seeing the water. Have a wonderful day. Hope the sun comes out soon!

        4. I probably should. But I’m leery to go outside and get kindling and wood. I was outside two hours ago to protect the faucets, and it was brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

        6. Well, you do know that the ancient Germanic tribes always longed for the warmer climate, at times conquering Rome, and also making it as far as northern Africa!

  11. John,

    So in essence, you were a ‘pool’ reporter for the sake of this post. . . 😉

    I love the three story building in the shot of the Palmilla Beach resort! The thought of sipping on something tasty from the balcony . . . mmmmm.

      1. Yes, I do. I’m the proverbial child, and also the glass-half-full, perhaps the only pool-loving person who is excited about being close to the shortest day of the year. That means we’re close to the count-down to the longest day of the year. I know… but it works for me!

  18. I had to laugh at the Infinity pool with the pond behind it. I’m reminded of Caddyshack “we have a pool, and a pond. The pond would be good for you.”

    Our pools are all covered or drained.

  23. These are beautiful photos, John, and I especially love the first one (infinity) with the homes on one side and the tables on the other. Just lovely. My childhood home had a pool, so I grew up loving to swim and these are all so inviting. Of course, not now while it’s 40 deg. outside. 🙂

  24. These are nice pools and on a hot summer day, they would be most welcoming. However, at a cool 30-degree day as we are having here, I will be having nothing to do with outside water. Any time of year, inside or out, I like my swim to be in water that is as warm as my bath.
