Many of you may have seen past photographs I have posted that were taken by
my dear Indian friend, Rohan Saraf, who is a senior beverage manager at Royal
Caribbean International. He is part of my crew "family." I haven't been able to
cruise in quite some time and it has been even longer since I've seen Rohan but,
he is one of those friends who remain dear to your heart, regardless of the time or
distance that lapse between visits.
Besides being an excellent beverage manager, Rohan is an incredible
photographer. Some of his efforts are of award winning quality. I've asked his
permission to use some of his shots in my blog and he has been kind
enough to allow me to share his pictures with you from time to time. If he ever
decides to retire from Royal Caribbean, he could add to his income as a photographer.

I want to thank Rohan for allowing me to use this lovely flower as my Mellow
Yellow post for this week. Of course, his photo is copyrighted and is the

ReplyDeleteMy friend, Rohan, is a wonderful photograph and, in his job with Royal Caribbean, he is getting to travel all over the globe!! I am blessed to have met him and his friendship is a treasure.

It is a beautiful flower, with coloring like our daisy but the petal shape is different.

I think the flower is just beautiful. I am sure Rohan photgraphed it when he was home in India, probably near Kathmandu where he is from.

I have been amazed at some of Rohan's incredible photography. His job with Royal Caribbean takes him to ports all over the world. Not that he gets much time off the ship to enjoy the places he's in!

I'm glad you like my header. I was really lucky to get that Matijila poppy just as the bee was going in for his nectar! That is the largest of all poppies and it grows from Mexico through California, often to a height of 8 feet!!

I will certainly forward all these lovely comments to Rohan. I am very impressed with his incredible talent as a photographer. I love his work and keep telling him he will have to consider this as a profession when he decides to retire from the food and beverage industry.

Well, I do have some wonderful Indian crew friends with Royal Caribbean...that's one of the reasons I want to visit India so badly and, of course, I've made lots of Indian blogger friends. I hope to meet them all!!!

It is a pretty little flower. If I get to India, I'll keep my eyes peeled for it.

I'm glad you like my header photo. I took it last year. I love those giant poppies with their unusual crinkly petals.

Thank you for the nice compliment. I am an amateur photographer, at best.

Rohan is really becoming quite a photographer. I'm always glad when he has a chance to get off the ship to take pictures. He is usually so busy, he doesn't have much time, though. As beverage manager a ship the size of the Allure of the Seas, they are so busy!!

I'm glad I put up that photo as my header. I took it last year when I was at the Botanical Garden with Jo. It looks pretty good up there, with the bee heading in to the flower!!
