Autumn Tribute

30 May 2015: As we farewell autumn in Canberra we can reflect on what makes it so appealing. A kaleidoscope of colour, crystal skies and cool crisp mornings are just some of the reasons we love this time of year. The conditions have been perfect to enjoy all that Canberra has on offer from the opening of the balloon festival to the first sign of frost. While winter kicks off tomorrow we are still seeing traces of Autumn, especially along the foreshore where the ornamental pears are still on display.

Nature’s Slideshow

23 May 2015: “It’s amazing what you can see when you just sit quietly and look” by Jacqueline Kelly sums up my morning experience perfectly! I was in no hurry at as the morning started off with a vivid orange pre-dawn spectacular (40 mins prior) and changed so quickly to such soft pink and blues. I didn’t even have time to move and it felt like I was living in nature’s slide show. The mist began rolling in from the Molonglo River to create an awesome atmosphere. At one point I was watching shards of 3D golden beams burning through the mist. The scenery was that good that I moved at a frantic pace of 50 meters per hour. How could you not!

Monday Morning Meditation

18 May 2015: The early morning sky glowed with a mixture of oranges, cinder reds that blended into mellowing mauves and blues. Light mist was dancing on the surface in front me as I watched another beautiful unveiling. It wasn’t too long before I was drifting amongst swirling murals of colour on the water’s surface. The finale was crystal blues skies, vivid reflections and a solo balloon to top everything off. This is my morning meditation.

Wintery Treat for Mother’s Day

10 May 2015: A cold blustery day didn’t faze mums around the nation’s capital as they celebrated Mother’s Day. Several braved the elements participating in the Mother’s Day Classic, while others enjoyed sharing food with loved ones at local cafes and restaurants. Local Press, Kingston Foreshore was our pick of the day with superb food, outstanding friendly service and quality coffee. I hope all mums were treated to something special today.
