26 Oct 2013: This was my first float back on Lake Burley Griffin after going to China with Tully (eldest boy) to watch Finn (middle boy) play 7 games of football (soccer) in 10 days. The conditions were fresh but I was certainly treated to a stunning warm welcoming home. I know I say it a lot, but I just love starting the day like this!
27 Sept 2013: There is no better way to see the working week out than by slicing your way through glassy waters. Today is shaping up to be an absolute cracker here the capital, so I hope that you get the chance to get outside an enjoy, especially after yesterdays tumultuous conditions.
Super calm conditions made for a very cruisy start.
26 Sept 2013: True magic is the only way to describe my paddle on LBG this morning. I can rant and rave about how beautiful it was or how I drifted on a massive sheet of glass that was the entire main basin and experienced a truly stunning sunrise. I had the water to myself for ages and the mirror reflections were glorious and many times throughout my two hour paddle it felt like I was floating on the clouds. Anyway enough of the chatter, I’ll let the photos tell the story. I hope that you enjoy the shots.
Wow is the word of the morning
9 September 2013: I love the misty morning starts. The light winds created mirrored waters and the misty conditions created a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The beauty about the foggy starts is that it usually burns off to reveal a stunning day. I hope you get the chance to get outside and enjoy a great spring day.
5 September 2013: It’s the most amazing feeling when you experience a sunrise like this. Words just can’t convey it, but hopefully the photos can; what an absolute stunner of a morning. The morning began with predawn tiger stripes forming on the horizon and very quickly gorgeous pastel colours lit up the morning skies and it felt like I was paddling on pink and lilac clouds.By 6.18am I was witnessing another brilliant sunrise out here on LBG and for me that’s what it is all about. Seeing the beginning of a new day always puts a giant smile on my dial. I hope you enjoy the shots as much as I have enjoyed taking them.
4 September 2013: The mist rolled through in waves from the wetlands and it created the most amazing atmosphere. If you were anywhere else in the world you would be raving about it for weeks to all of your family and friends. What a wonderful Wednesday morning out on LBG and how lucky are we to have this right on our own door step. I hope you get the chance to enjoy the beautiful spring day that we are going have.
1 September 2013: Golden sunrises, dreamy misty fingers of golden rays, hovering balloons, silhouette swans, crazed reflections and pelicans all made for a delightful start to spring this morning. Spring has started in spectacular style and I can’t wait to see the multitude to colours that Canberra is about to produce. I hope that you enjoy the shots 🙂
So glad you are aboard for the trip 🙂
31 August 2013: That was one of the most mind blowing gorgeous, stunning, brilliant, vivid, amazing, glorious, fantastic (and as many other great words you can use) sunrise. Super wow, mega wow come close to describing the impact that had on me. I am truly blessed to be able to experience something like this. My Canon PowerShot D20 was working overtime this morning capturing a superb send off to winter. I hope you enjoy the shots from this morning as much I do.
29 August 2013: Every day has its own unique signature and this morning’s creation was truly sublime. What a stunning pastel dawn it was this morning. Sunrises like this provide me with so much peace and contentment, you can see why I’m so addicted and love starting the day like this. I hope that you enjoy the shots.
6.03am: There was a slight indication that the pastel dawn was about develop.
28 August 2013: There were huge smiles from everyone as it was a glorious spring like morning. There were plenty of people out and about enjoying the superb conditions. Kayakers were out there slicing through the mist, people were whizzing by on bikes hands waving in the air, loads of walkers and joggers were happily chatting and saying hello. The scull population has dramatically increased over the past fortnight as they were shooting all over the place. Spring is definitely on its way and I can’t wait to see Canberra burst into colour. I hope you get the chance to get outside today and enjoy it.
5.55am: What a beautiful start to the day.
