Sunshine paints our world in brilliant colours set off by spots of quiet shade. Swallows practice aerobatics as they dine on the fly. Bees buzz lazily from bloom to bloom while humans move more slowly and smiles begin to grow.
The famous Saturday Market draws visitors to enjoy the wares and fare of creative islanders as music turns the day into a celebration. In gratitude we invite our guests to experience our Island home. words by Gail Neumann photos courtesy: Susan deStein
