Super Saturday

Pink Sunrises
Pink sunrises; they’re few and far between but I have been lucky enough to experience a few while paddling Lake Burley Griffin.
It certainly had the WOW factor that morning!

The natural light show was amazing
The dark before the dawn: the beginning of a great obsession!
As part of the blog writing course that I am currently undertaking, I must write a review. So I thought I would review Lake Burley Griffin; what started me paddling; and the head space that it provides me on a daily basis.
Last August I was in the third stage of an intensive three month blast of chemotherapy.

I thought it couldn’t get any better!
Over the last few weeks I have been blown away by the light show that LBG (Lake Burley Griffin) has put on.
Brindabella Magic
Each day I thought that there is no way that it could get any better……but the lake keeps proving me wrong.
A day of architecture
Stunning reflections
I keep saying it, “You know, if you witnessed this overseas you would be raving about it to everyone and photographing it like crazy.”
5.56am: Friday Morning – East Basin LBG
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.
