Tiger and Bird would like to extend to you and yours our best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! Whether this holiday season finds you traveling through exotic lands or enjoying the company of friends and family back home, may your days be merry and your hearts light.
The serene scene in this photo shows a sleepy fishing village lightly enveloped by morning mists which float down from nearby hills. Gentle ocean waves swish against rocks, while mockingbirds call out raucously from coconut trees on the shore. The promising scent of fried fish gently wafts through the salty air as our breakfast is prepared. The sun steadily rises over the ocean's horizon, spreading its warmth in increasing intensity. This slow-moving hour - sitting by the ocean and disconnected from the outside world - forms one of our favorite moments from this last year.
