Summer holiday pics from our readers

Yesterday we asked our SunLive readers to send in a summer holiday photo.

Today we have ten photographs to share with you from people enjoying beaches from Haihei to Ohope, visiting the Tauranga Art Gallery, and heading along to Tauranga Historic Village.

We also received a photograph from a reader of their dog on Mount Main Beach. It is a lovely photo but we haven't included it as dogs are banned from Mount Main Beach due to dotterels, grey-faced petrels and little blue penguins nesting in the area.

Fiona Violich sent in a photo of five-year-old Amelie Violich on her boogie board at Papamoa Beach.

Fiona also took a photo of Talia Violich, age seven, dancing on the Ohope Beach.

'We are in Hahei, Coromandel for a week, and before the bad weather started it was fantastic,” says Jillayne Boffa.

Jillayne's photo shows a platter enjoyed by herself and Tony Goode.

There's plenty of art to see around the Bay of Plenty this summer, including at Tauranga Historic Village, and the Tauranga Art Gallery, where 18 month old Archer Ball went to explore.
