    I love the idea of photo of the day. This gives the photographers out there the chance to show their work. I love it. I like to see this one, it is showing our Indigenous people and what they can do or the use the simple things around us to make beautiful things.

    DNO, I was so elated when I saw the photos of the day. The native people have to be represented more since they are so knowledgeable and make good contributions to the Tourist industry. Sometimes we look at industrious as being degee-achievement but there are those who are also quite knowledgeable by using their brain and their hands.

    Very good pictures. i like the native people because first af all my grandmother was a Carib Indian and secondly the Caribs were the first on the island. They have kept up with their manner of life unashamedly.

    Great job DNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
