It’s the time when school begins again. In the afternoons, one can see hopeful youngsters trying out for first string on the playing fields of green. There’s fog in the mornings and in the dark, drenching clouds are drawing nearer. It’s also a time of colorful change and contemplation, a time to consider preparations for the season to follow. Best of all, in the islands, it’s a time when the summer’s rush is over and the busy strangers have departed. Everywhere there is quiet beauty and splendid stillness. It’s a time to take a deep breath and appreciate what is before your eyes.
