Jo Bryant,

fish hiding in the shimmer

I awakened to summer

Totally unrelated articles – this happened in my street on Sunday.

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.

  3. With sunrises as this, one would think, that would be enough ‘high’ for anyone living there.

    An hour spent fish’n another hour lived longer. Right! Not so much with the Meth, more like the beginning to the end.

  5. Fabulous photos Jo!
    From the amount of street drugs around it has to be getting made somewhere doesn’t it? I know of someone who grows in his roof space in a town nearby.

    1. I just never imagined it in my street. They hauled away three Mongrel Mob members. The Armed Offenders Squad was runnng around in balaclavas and gas masks, the explosions sent up a fair bit of smoke. I was out when it started…couldn’t get back in to my street for a while as it was all blocked off by the Police. You know what really made me laugh ?? The Son saw it on the news…rang to check up on me. The Daughter saw it and posted “Whooooo Katikati” to her facebook page. She and I must talk over Christmas about this !!!!

  7. How wonderful. I wish I was there. It’s a chilly day in London. Miles and Atticus are not happy. Att is cuddled up next to me on a blanket and Miles is hogging the comforter.

  12. Sorry you didn’t catch anything, but glad you got to go! Fishing (hell, just being in nature) is so refreshing for the soul. 🙂 I wish we had fishing weather here, but unfortunately, Old man Winter has just recently blown into town and it probably won’t be warm enough to do it for months. *sigh* But at least I can enjoy YOUR fishing trips!
