Loved the different coloured houses - not a good photo I know. I took this with my  Nikon Coolpix  on a zoom setting.
This blue rounded house caught my eye. Notice the green post box.

I spotted these window paintings in a back street. 




Beautiful roses on this wrought iron window guard

    It was my first visit. Do hope to return one day as it is a beautiful island and everyone is so friendly.
