Chillaxing all the way but our senses were on fire!

13 April 2013: We had it all this morning, fire red autumn leaves reflecting on glassy water, misty silhouettes, dragon boats, laser sunrises and crystal blue skies. But in true style we just sat back and chillaxed our way through the entire morning, taking it all in and making sure that we didn’t miss a thing. There may have been a chill in the air but the senses were definitely on fire this morning. Yet again I have been treated to an awesome autumn display on Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra.

Misty start to the morning once again.

Loving this Ground Hog Day

9 April 2013: I don’t want to start each blog with, beautiful, stunning, serene, amazing and the words alike, but that’s what’s the what it’s been like each morning so far. Each day I am treated to soft misty tones that burn off to reveal a brilliant autumn day and if the forecast is correct, it’s going to remain like this for a few more days. If this is ground hog day; well I’m loving it!

Misty Monday Morning Marvel

8 April 2013: What a magical Monday morning. I don’t think that there is any better way to start the day. I was totally blown away this morning and just when you thought it could get any better. It’s funny, I keep saying to myself “this has been the best morning so far “and then you experience some like this. How lucky are we to have this on our door step.

I love a misty start to the day.

Mist + calm + reflections = WOW

7 April 2013: This morning LBG created the illusion that I was somewhere else in the world or even in a fictional movie. The misty autumn conditions are just leaving wanting more and more. I never tire of the scenery especially when the conditions produce such stunning imagery

An Awesome Autumn Morning

6 April 2013: Balloons were floating overhead, scull’s were flying by, kayakers were cruising the water ways and plenty of walkers /joggers were treated to an awesome autumn morning on Lake Burley Griffin. Mystical soft tones set the scene ,dull skies turned red to orange, then the morning clouds combined with the sun and turned the skies into a painters palate.

A mystical start to the morning

They could be called the Magic Mountains

Easter Weekend: How good are our Snowy Mountains. I have just spent four days, body surfing down rapids, being chair lifted to great heights, walking alpine tracks, hanging out with my head in the clouds on Mt Kosciusko and being treated to a new paddling experience on Lake Jindabyne each day.  What a blast!

We decided to head up into the Snowy Mountains rather than head to the coast as we usually do. We had the opportunity to stay at the Lake Crackenback Resort and what a winner that was. We had the best time, so much to do, so much to see and a weekend of perfect weather just topped it all off. What a brilliant summer destination and I could only imagine how picturesque it must be during winter. This resort is so close to the ski tube as well. We ski all the time during winter but this was our first time to the resort and it certainly won’t be our last. We will definitely be checking in for a stay during the ski season and I can’t wait to see what snap shots I will be able to snare with snow capped mountains in the back ground.

They could have been called the magic mountain instead.

Sunrise addiction

27 March 2013: This morning I decided to paddle up the Molonglo River to take in another sunrise and what a great decision it was. The transition from pre dawn to full sun up was beautiful, the water was glassy and the mist just topped it all off. I think that I am well and truly addicted to sunrises, but hey what an addiction to have!

Velvet wrapped sledge hammer

24 March 2013: If you were anywhere else in the world you would be raving out it for months! This morning’s setting was so soft and gentle but yet so powerful. Lake Burley Griffin never ceases to amaze me, it just keeps bowling me over and leaves me wanting more. It’s amazing how you can paddle the same place every day and be treated to a totally new experience each time.
