184-2020 – A Stubborn Bird


Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is about a stubborn bird eating from one of the feeders. I was fascinated by the perseverance and as always the reward is well deserved. The poor bird was standing on a tiny branch, just thick enough to hold its weight, plus was leaning forward and towards the bird feeder, hopping to find a treat inside the hanging pine cone.

Apparently, weeping willow trees get their common name from the way that rain looks like tears when it’s dripping off the curved branches.Like, comment & share!

Costa Maya, Mexico


Costa Maya, Mexico used to be one of Carnival Valor’s stops on the western Carribean itinerary in 2006. The Cruise ships usually docked there when not able to dock somewhere else due to rough sea or because of the destruction caused by Hurricane Wilma and Emily in 2005.

Atlantis Bahamas on Paradise Island


Atlantis is located on Paradise Island, Bahamas and was my favourite place to visit while working as Audio Visual Staff onboard Carnival Triumph. For over 3 years I travelled and filmed the most exclusive resorts in the Caribbeans. If you would ask me which all-inclusive resort I would choose to spend my family holiday, I would definitely recommend Atlantis Bahamas on Paradise Island, without hesitation. In 2006, I was working onboard Carnival Valor when I visited Atlantis again with my parents.

Memories from Saint Martin


These are some of my memories captured mainly with my first DSLR camera, an Olympus E-500, in and around Saint Martin – a small island in the northeast Caribbean Sea. At the time (2005-2006), I was working onboard the Carnival Valor as Audio Visual Staff. Open Deck, Carnival Valor Golden Eagle Catamaran, Saint Martin
