A Garden at The Point Gallery

The May long weekend upon us kicks off the summer season and an explosion of tourists and part-time island dwellers returning for the six months of summer.

There's an around the island sailing race, a huge annual soccer tournament, a Fiddling camp with fiddlers arriving from all over Canada and the US and the requisite barn dance on Saturday night.

Tonight, with three art openings at different galleries, it's a very mini (extremely mini) version of Santa Fe on a Friday evening, moving from one to the next, the free wine and appetizers flowing.

I hit them all saving the best for last: a privately owned barn transformed into a Gallery called The Point near Fulford. As you can see from the photos, it's too beautiful for words.
