Water feature, back lawn and lobby of J.W. Marriott

This is the final photo in my series on the J.W. Marriott Desert Ridge Resort. This shows the opposite view from my photo yesterday, with the scupper dropping water in to a pool next to the back lawn of the resort.

The clear blue skies are typical of Arizona. On many days our humidity can be as low as 5%. All of the lawns, water and trees, however, can cause a little more humidity. Lawns have to be watered twice a day, in the early morning and evening. If people turn their sprinklers on during a warm, sunny, dry day, as much as one half of the water can evaporate into the air before it lands on the grass.

This week we are showing photos of the whimsy of public art and the classic architecture of Chicago on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

Thanks for the peek at this resort. It's bigger than I thought.

I agree with you about watering during the day time in Arizona. It is a pet peeve of mine. When I drive by a golf course or lawn with the sprinklers funning in the day time, I think to myself that they are using half of their water to raise the humidity for the rest of us.

I was at happy hour there the other evening and it was great. My friends come each year to enjoy this beautiful resort, especially the water features and swimming.
