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.

30 Jan 2014: It started out as such a peaceful paddle this morning, the winds were light and the temperature was perfect. Then the morning transformation started to take place with soft pastels gradually lighting up the morning skies and finished off with a electric finale. Canberra you’ve done it again!

Saturday’s Reflections

18 Jan 2014: It’s hard to capture a shot in the dark while sitting in a kayak and shooting free hand, but I’m not one to give up and this morning I seemed to be able to have a bit of success. I was on the water super early as the winds were light, the temp was cool and I was hoping to snare a few nice light reflections. Hope you have a great weekend, I think today is going to be another hot one here in Canberra…..hope you can escape the heat.

Sunrise Tonic

16 Jan 2014: This morning I had my daily tonic of soothing tones and magic reflections. Seeing the day being like this is my morning mediation and it’s such a huge part of my life since I began paddling and photographing after finishing treatment over two years ago. Every sunrise has its own unique signature and this morning’s sunrise definitely hit the spot.

I hope that you can stay cool and avoid the heat today; it’s going to be a scorcher here. Have a great day!

Another golden start to great day
