This is my entry in to the Beach Wednesday Photo contest organised by 
A couple of years ago I flew to Dunedin in the South Island of New Zealand to pick up a new car. I met up with my mother and my friend Ashley so that we could do a road trip back up to the North Island.
We stopped at a town called Oamaru on the east coast. The weather in January was hot and calm and we spent the day at Oamaru Beach.
This is one of my favourite photos as it's the last picture I have before he passed away. He was having the best day just walking along the beach in the sun.
The water was warm and you could walk out a very long way before it got deep.
Even when the sun was going down people didn't go home. It was such a lovely evening!!
The sky turned a beautiful pink as the sun set and the light faded.
The water was so calm. No surfing happening here.
Looking back at this wee holiday makes me remember to enjoy the simple things in life....like the beach!
