I keep saying it, “You know, if you witnessed this overseas you would be raving about it to everyone and photographing it like crazy.”

Terrific Tuross
How good is this place! Amazing, spectacular and beautiful are just a few words that can be used to describe Tuross Head. It was the first time that I had ever been to Tuross and it certainly will not be last. Three of us, Big Steve, Matt and myself decided to have a boy’s weekend away that would involve paddling, fishing and of course a bit of good old fashioned socialising. Matt and I are the keen kayak paddling ones, while big Steve’s the type of bloke that could fish for 30 hours in a 24 hour day. Matt and I would be out at the crack of dawn exploring the water ways of Tuross while Steve would try and better his record catch of a 90 centimetre Flat Head. We were so lucky, we ended up with the best weather that anyone could ask for; perfect calm conditions for three entire days.
A morning mystery
At 6.27am, the sky was crystal clear, promising a beautiful day in Canberra.
7.13am, the mist had rolled in from the wetlands, making it look like a scene from Harry Potter.
But the mist and fog disappeared as quickly as it came to leaving us with a stunning day in the Capital.
10.37am, It was such blooming good day that I had to take the plywood kayak out for a spin!
Spring has sprung
9.34am Spring has finally sprung in Canberra with the Bradford Pear trees in full bloom
A spectacular sight
A different perspective
It was minus 5 that morning; you know its cold when the water freezes and turns to ice on your kayak hatch. I remember it well, the lake was covered in fog, the water was like a sheet of glass and then suddenly the fog cleared and the morning sun burst through long enough for me to race over underneath the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge to snap this shot. 
Minutes later the lake was engulfed again.
Frost afloat
On Wednesday morning this floating leaf caught my eye. It looked pretty cool. This just shows you how cold the water is, I think that the water temperature is a mere 5 degrees at the moment.

A fuchsia pink dawn
6.08am: It was a fuchsia pink dawn this morning.
6.14am: It’s amazing how you only have a very short window of opportunity to snap the shot, although I was treated to this light show for about 15minutes.

Howler of a morning
6.08am: Yet again I was treated to another magnificent morning out there on LBG with the moon dominating the morning sky.
First day of spring on LBG (Meeting fellow LBG enthusiast)
During my morning paddle on Lake Burley Griffin I crossed paths with a fellow paddler, or maybe I should say ‘sculler.’
It was an amazing morning. When I woke at 5.00pm I looked out the window and quickly noticed the huge moon sitting pride of place in the morning sky. I hastily made my way down to the lake to try and capture the full moon reflecting on the capitals landmarks.

Evening sunset
This was the sunset that I originally set out to capture for the evening.
