Jim Theisen and his wife, Mary, live on McDermott Lane, across Panorama Drive from the 17th hole on the Lake Panorama National golf course. Driving home July 31, they were looking at the nearby meadow and commenting on its colorful blooms when they discovered three young fawns standing in the meadow. Jim used Mary’s phone to snap a couple of pictures through his open car window. Another great example of the natural beauty of the Lake Panorama community.

Steve Bosshart was fishing on Lake Panorama’s main basin on Friday, May 8, when a rain shower moved through the Panora area. Bosshart captured this striking photo from his fishing boat of a rainbow that appeared shortly after the rain.
The rainbow framed the east side of the lake’s main basin, with the new Vista Lago condo development centered beneath it.

Pilot and Lake Panorama resident Matt Lukacs shared this aerial view of the lake during an early May flight when the air was calm — and the water was, too.

Tim Rickert shot his first hole-in-one at Hole No. 5 at Panorama West during the Thursday Morning Men’s League on May 21, using his 5-iron to make it happen. Jerry Armstrong was a witness to the moment.
Barb Hemberger shared this fun photo collage created by her professional photographer son-in-law, Dan McClanahan, of the Hemberger crew (17 in number) in their cove last summer. Barb’s husband, Dave, built a platform out in the water, and Dan shot them in groups of one or two for more than four hours. He later put it all together including the dog, Rudy, chasing a goose across the lawn and their daughter-in-law “skiing” with her newborn baby. Barb points out that no babies, children or geese were harmed in the process. They used the photo for their Christmas card and have a 32-inch by 54-inch metal print of it in their house.
Thunderstorms and heavy winds moved into the area June 10, unfortunately creating some damage but also providing incredible colors. This orange sky over Burchfield Cove at Lake Panorama is a fascinating phenomenon that can be explained by the role of atmospheric particles, the scattering of light and even the influence of pollution.
