Water slapping the side of the boat, line tight with emerald green and golden brown weed, my lips curl knowing there are some things you just need to catch with your eyes.


You can click on the badge to get information about the Mindful Writing Challenge and there is a Writing Our Way Home Facebook page where you can link to your posts, post your small stones and look at other small stones. I joined yesterday. Hop over and have a look.

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.

oh so true, is the idea ‘things we have to see with our own eyes’. They make life worth it despite all that makes at time hard. I am not sure why, this image, your words, transported me back to those lines in the Who’s rock opera ‘Tommy’……..See me, feel me, touch me, heal me

Your comment on yesterday’s stone about fishing not being ALL about the catching of anything…and what I was thinking of for my stone for today suddenly fell in to place. I bow to your greatness.

Not as clear as it should be. It was hard as we were racing in the boat when they took off and the shutter speed was too low…maybe next time I will get a better one.
