Desert Shores off Lake Mead Blvd. near Summerlin.
That was my second guess, but i couldnt think of the name. I used to lifeguard at the pool there. Fun times. Quite a scenic little area of town. Are the geese still out and about?

I would add one, but I've already posted today.... Maybe tomorrow.
Not sure if you are interested in C&C, but I think this image would be more striking by cropping in a bit to exclude everything in the background. Just the bird and the inner circle of "eyes." The people and trees in the background are distractions for me. The subject is clearly the peacock and I think the image would be stronger by filling the frame with the subject. Take this with a grain of salt--don't wish to offend.
Sure, no problem, thanks. C&C always appreciated. I had the same problem with the background, but wanted to keep all the plumage in the pic. I cropped it and made some adjustments in "Picnik," and actually like it better:

Standing at the base of the Palmer glacier (7000 ft. level) looking toward the top of Mt. Hood. The lift on the left is the highest lift at Timberline, and is the only all-year skiing area in the U.S. Mt. Hood is 11, 249 ft. at the peak.
Great shot. Wonderful detail in the shadows.
The light is special in these two. They each capture a particular time of day, and a particular mood. They show that it's important to be out at the right time of day, and to wait patiently for the right moment. Both of those places look like they'd be conducive to waiting.
A pair of lovely shots.
Nice pic!
Did you stitch these together using several shots or is it one shot?
Thanks for the nice comments... It is a single image, cropped to eliminate too much foreground in bluish shadow... I think it works as a sort of panoramic shot.Great shot. Wonderful detail in the shadows.

Mine for the day (still going through my cruise pics):
The cables are zip lines. You rig yourself into a harness and then ride them down, dangling underneath. 500 ft vertical drop, can't remember the total length. You travel down the cables...quickly. While it looks like the cables dive into the ocean it's an optical illusion. They stay above water and end on the distant beach. Total blast.
MAN, you made my heart skip a beat. I was on Labadee last year and had such a fantastic time on Royal Caribbean. What ship is that? I was on the Liberty of the Seas.
Almost got to ride that, it was windy and they wouldn't allow anyone over 200lbs to go down, and despite my best dieting I was still around 205... I was sad.
Having read the previous posts I'm going to have to remember to start @ f/ 8 and go from there. Also, I found it's somewhat frustrating to shoot at a car show. Especially a big car show, because there are people every where, hence the framing on this one. Does this composition still work?
