Barbados

This is the homeland of some of my best friends.  Because, of this I have been there twice, and loved it. I cannot wait to go again. But, until then here is this lens. Barbados and its people have a special place in my heart. This lens is in part  tribute to them, Barbados and the unique way they speak. 
And, of course, to share with others of this beautiful Island and their people.
