I did go birding there with Colleen Lal , when she and her husband Raideep (big golfer) purchase the property and then it was forest , streams and mainly meadows....
We did have Barbeques in the night on the lakes and enjoyed the silent, starry skies.
They were good friends.
They had a vision of a golf course.. where nature will be also playing an important part. Keep the forest areas and streams and keep the nice trees, new trees will be only the trees who are belong there.
Unfortunately they both passed away on a very young age. We still miss them and until now we only went to Lucero to visit friends and the restaurant for 2 x. Never did go into the area anymore, too sad. Raideep and Colleen:
But today we did go...we walked to the lake and we did see masked Ducks and other birds (see list down below)
We did love our walk, talked about the good memories and we think that Raideep and Colleen would be happy with the golf course. And they would be absolutely happy with these rare beautiful Ducks.
We felt so happy and I wanted to write this down on my blog..out of honor for them.
Down below the list.
Here some pics of the beautiful area...

What a wonderful tribute. We often think of how sad it is to have lost them. Our family mourns the loss everyday. And especially at such a young age. Although tragic, it’s wonderful that Raideep’s brother has taken it upon him to accomplish the dream - cielo paraiso

ReplyDeleteI went out to the Pond with Michael Mullin Tuesday morning and was able to see the Masked Ducks. I also had memories of our friends and what a beautiful place they and Raideep's brother have created.
