I must add my praise to this image, Carol. It is so clean, simple, and eloquent in its design and color, and that sole rake speaks of hard work, which is always at the core of life here. It reminds me of a scene I just shot in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico --http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/52105664 It is fascinating comparing these images -- two minds making similar points with similar subjects on opposite sides of the world.
oh, i love all the textures and the vaariuous subltel shades of similar warm colors, ithin that is what i like in my island pad also.. and of course the green!!!!!
