Captain of Birds



This layout was created for the “Sketch Challenge Crop” hosted at Scrap Girls on October 25th by Brandie Valenzuela. Following is her sketch:



I really tried to stick to her sketch design, but I didn’t have any tall skinny photographs from the cruise. As a result, I eliminated one of the panels and had to blend 2 photos together. This layout is sort of part 2 to the Cayman Island Rum layout (below) I created previously. Some of the elements from that layout were re-used.



Journaling:

On the 5th day of our cruise we were in George Town, Grand Cayman. One of the first things we did was go to this little tourist mall to purchase a bottle of Big Black Dick Rum. After our spirited purchase, the ladies decided to do some jewelry shopping. I waited outside the store and sat on a bench to watch the people. I noticed this gentleman walking around dressed like a Swashbuckler Captain. He was smoking a cigar and carried a bottle of the very rum we had just purchased, so I assumed he was advertising the rum. I got tired of sitting, so I walked around the little mall and found these absolutely gorgeous birds. While I was photographing the birds, the Captain walked over to their open cage. The birds very happily climbed out of the open cage on to his arms and shoulders. He gave them the remainder of his cigar, which they absolutely loved. It was definitely an unexpected photographic treat. January 25, 2006
