Marvellous Monday

7 April 2014: “In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous” Aristotle.

The working week has started in spectacular style and it appears that the drizzle which we have experience over the past few day has moved on to leave us with clear blue skies. I hope that you have a great day.

Performance Perfection

15 March 2014: The balloons didn’t launch over LBG this morning, so ‘Mother Nature’ stepped and put on an stunning performance to light up our skies. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a sunrise open with deep mauves and swirls of pinks. Then to end show she had liquid gold dance on the waters surface to create a wonderful finale.

Absolute BLAST of a time at the Canberra Balloon Festival

10 March 2014: Fantastic, brilliant, excellent, hilarious, loads of laughs, what a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was sensational, everyone was laughing, the mood was one of sheer excitement as the pilots turned on a spectacular flying performance. Balloons were casually basket dragging their way across the lake while taking the time out to have a chat to a crowd of kayakers and paddle boarders who were on the water hoping to have a close up experience. The balloon festival has been absolutely brilliant, I sincerely hope you have the opportunity to experience it.

What an awesome experience, what a fantastic festival.

Perfect Combinations

23 Feb 2014: Backlit clouds beamed golden rays of light into the morning skies over Canberra creating a wonderful atmosphere. The crazy cloud formations and the beautiful light combined perfectly to produce some wild reflections on a very calm morning.

The reflections were amazing. Stunning Sunday has begun.

Saturday Serenity

8 Feb 2014: The swans were floating amongst pastel tones, there were hovering balloons and I was treated to golden sunrise. Crystal clear blue skies soon took over as I paddled my way into another stunning Canberra day. It doesn’t get much better than this, the conditions were so good that my planned 2 hour paddle turned into a 4 hour pleasure cruise.

5.49am: The morning was so good that even the local were just floating around and were in no hurry at all.

Flat out in Neutral

1 Feb 2014: This morning I drifted into a gorgeous golden sunrise with Emma Macdonald in ‘The Big Bopper’ my double Kayak on Lake Burley Griffin. There wasn’t any need for speed at all as the conditions were near perfect. The temperature was spot on and the winds were non existent, these combinations made for a very enjoyable experience watching the day begin. I think that our highest warp speed was a blistering 500 metres per hour and to top it all off we were treated to a pier side coffee delivery from from Remedy which is located at the Kingston foreshore. The company was fantastic and the sunrise was brilliant…what a perfect way to start the day.

5.29am: This is shaping up to be an excellent morning.

Yet again the conditions were superb with light winds, crystal clear skies and a golden sunrise to top it all off. It is going to be a fantastic day to finish a wonderful Australia day weekend, I hope that you have a great day…Enjoy.

It looked like liquid gold was floating on the waters surface.
