bees drunk on warm pollen below an autumn sunrise ~ a cat yowls next door

Published by Jo Bryant

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.

          2. Well seeing as I am an honourary pirate on a friend’s boat…seeing as he is a pirate Cap’n and all, I figured I better have a ‘pirate’ pic that showed those parts of me off. Things went a little wonky though…I ended up with a swan neck…hehehehehe

            At some point I will get it right.

      1. Actually I said lots more but our landlines were slow again and every time I posted the comment, the website bombed out and I had to type it over. I tried for 3 times and then couldn’t remember anymore what I said, so I just typed as fast as I could and pressed the comment button as fast as I could. LOL!

        Today all is fine again, so now I can say what I wanted to say yesterday:

        This is one stunning shot Jo! I love how you captured this delicate and beautiful bee. Excellent depth of field as well and the bee and flower in the foreground is so sharp and clear and the most beautiful colours! Absolutely gorgeous! I just LOVE it! 😀
