Rhonda's Island was a commissioned project for my web designer and niece-in-law. Her payment for designing this site was this island. Built to her specifications, the island includes her chosen 44 fishes and mermaids, a tiny replica of her playing her acoustic Yamaha, and of course her husband, my nephew Neil. The title of her island is "Que Sera, Sera," shown on the tiny sign on the island.
