Mellow Yellow Monday #122 - A Beautiful Indian Flower - May 22, 2011

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

property of the photographer, Rohan Saraf.  It may not be used in any way without

express permission.

Friday Flash 55 - The Rose of Love - May 20, 2011

Her eyes were full of tears today,

Fifty years ago he'd passed away,

But her love continued eternally true,

For none but Billy would ever do.

The rose they planted together,

Each spring,continued to bloom,

In front of their tiny cottage,

Fifty years of fragrant perfume.

A scent surely scattered on loving angel wings!

I am taking part in that devlish Mr. G's Friday Flash 55 - you must

check out the site or you will miss something truly interesting!!  As your own 55!

Ruby Tuesday - Street Banner in Rome, Italy - May 16, 2011

This was taken on my 65th birthday trip to Rome almost a year and a half ago.   I
was there for my 64th birthday and had such a wonderful time, I went back again!
Those memories will have to suffice for the rest of my days, I'm afraid, since my
budget won't even get me to Rome, Georgia now!
