Our hot August night skies are seared with serendipity in this year of 2012. We have the good fortune of gazing up into a full moon twice in this same month; an event that only occurs every two –three years. Friday August 31, 2012 will mark the second full moon of this month. Check our blog https://www.sonoranresorts.mx/?p=5682 for details on this. You don’t have to wait until the 31st to see a spectacular event in the August night sky, however. The annual Perseid meteor shower begins its most illustrious sequence in the wee hours of Saturday August 11 through Monday August 13.

Most have heard an expression of something like, “Oh, that only happens once in a Blue Moon,” or something similar. Well, if you’ve been waiting for a Blue Moon you’ve got less than a month to wait. Because on the night of August 31st above the glowing Sea of Cortez off the sandy beaches of Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico and the rest of the world, there will be one.
We’ve received so many positive responses to our announcements about the Sonoran Resorts “Why I Love Rocky Point” Best Job in the World Travel Writing Contest that we know this is going to be an exciting adventure for everyone involved!
Although identified by some taxonomists with the bird family of hawks (Falconiformes), Ospreys are quite different in their taxonomy; so different in fact, that they’ve been assigned their own species (Pandion Haliaetus). Even though it does resemble a Hawk or small Eagle from a distance and is sometimes referred to as “Sea Hawk”, “Fish Hawk” or “Fish Eagle”, the Osprey is none of those, and wouldn’t approve of that comparison either because it is a much more skilled angler than those birds. And you can watch them everyday on Sandy Beach in front of the Sonoran Spa and Sonoran Sea Condominium Resorts in Rocky Point, Sonora, Mexico where all these photos were taken.
You know the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Well, our new Sonoran Resorts Travel Writing Contest is about the “thousand words” because sometimes painting a picture with a thousand words is at least as effective at conveying the emotion, details and even the color, when it’s about a destination that you love. That’s because, with words, you can emphasize the story behind the beauty of a destination like Rocky Point.
In 2009 Rick made the big move to Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point); a paradise with great beaches, tropical weather and a future he believed in. He obtained his real estate license and accepted a position with the Sonoran Resorts, which he still believes is the best condominium development on Sandy Beach. Again in his own words Rick “Never looked back.”
In an informal, but well-attended ceremony on Friday July 13, 2012, Fernando Anaya, Director General of Sonoran Resorts and Jim Ringquist, Director of Sales and Marketing and Event Coordinator, presented a check for $5,000 to the very grateful President of DIF (the city’s 36 year old municipal family assistance program), Marcela Albelaiz de Zepeda, accompanied by her husband, Puerto Peñasco Mayor Alejandro Zepeda Munro and Imelda Zamudio Sanchez, Director of DIF. The check represented the funds raised from ticket sales to the very successful Las Vegas Night for Charity sponsored by the Sonoran Resorts and the City of Puerto Peñasco that was held in the Sonoran Sky Resort Condominium Restaurant on Saturday July 7th, 2012
You’ll have many opportunities to marvel at the flying and diving skills of the Brown Pelicans as they hunt and dive along Sandy Beach in front of the Sonoran Sea, Spa, Sky or Sun in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico. Hopefully you will know a little more about them as a result of the information in today’s blog.
