Jo Bryant,

A day at the end of summer at Waihi Beach.

I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes. I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment. I am also a freelance writer/editor. I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage. I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008. I am writing my first novel. I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web. And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

  12. Makes me want to go get a little sand in my drawers, myself. It’s been a couple of years since I went to the beach … and your beaches are beautiful! Those kids look like they are enjoying their time in the sand.

  14. This picture evokes so many summer memories – of being at the beach when I was a child, and other times of being with my children at the beach. It’s a beautiful photo, Jo, and perfect for the theme.

  22. This kind of setting looks oh-so-familiar. And it might be one of your old posts as well. Not so sure. Great image, either way.

    1. Glad you liked it Rommel. I haven’t used it before but did use one with the girl and her Dad (at least I think he was) a while ago.

    1. As I got up this morning to a white frosty lawn and my fingers wrapped around the cup holding my morning tea for warmth while I waited for the fire to take off again I knew that our winter has taken hold. Still – the sky is clear and blue…so not all bad I would say !!!
