Photo of Photographer

Good morning,

Isn't that young lady cute!  She's one of the ship photographers who take pictures of cruise guests just about everywhere they go.

I turned the table on this gal by saying, "My turn!" as I held up my camera.  She immediately struck a cute pose.

So much fun!

Enjoy,
Lois

Colors of Labadee

Good morning,

I love these colors.  Blues, greens, more blues, more greens....
I took these pictures while we were in Labadee, Haiti. 

Enjoy,

Going Ashore in Labadee, Haiti

Good morning,

We left Freedom of the Seas to go ashore in Labadee, Haiti, for a couple of hours.
There were plenty of supplies for a picnic ashore being taken ashore, too

This is a great port to get some good "ship shots," too!
 On the left is Jewel of the Seas. On the right is Freedom of the Seas.  Getting them side by side sure does emphasize the difference in size!
 This dock was built a few years ago so guests could walk ashore instead of having to take tender boats between the ship and shore.


 What a beautiful sight!

Enjoy,
Lois

Ship Canyon

Good morning,

Just one image today. 

This is the ship canyon created by Jewel of the Seas (left) and Freedom of the Seas.  They are tied up on opposite sides of the same dock in Labadee, Haiti.

What beautiful, huge ships!

Enjoy,
Lois

Sand Hill Cranes at Orlando Airport

Good morning,

I drove over to the Orlando airport from Port Canaveral to pick up Daughter Catherine and Aunt Carol.

Every time I go to the cell phone lot I find Sand Hill Cranes hanging around.  
The cranes are very tame and walk up to cars looking for handouts.
I suspect they get plenty of reinforcement, too!
This is the view in the other direction.
 That's the airport over there where I will go to pick up Catherine and Carol when I get their call that their plane has landed and they are ready for pick up.  The cell phone lot is a very smart idea so those of us picking up passengers have a place to wait away from the busy airport.

All the best,
Lois

Mimosa and Fresh Fruit

Good morning,

What a glamorous breakfast:  a mimosa (orange juice and champagne) and...
...fresh fruit.

Light and good.  :)

Enjoy,

Sailboat Tour

Good morning,

What a pretty sailboat!  I looked out our window when we pulled into St. Thomas and saw this sailboat go by.  It's a tour that you can take while you are in port.

Fun!

Enjoy,
