12 April 2015: I felt like I was drifting amongst the clouds this morning as the reflections were vivid on the lakes surface. I just love watching the morning unfold and the colour transformation from soft pink tones through to striking blues.
9 March 2015: It was a carnival atmosphere on LBG this morning to celebrate Canberra Day 2015. A record number of balloons launched from the Lawns of Old Parliament House and adorned the Canberra skyline while SUP riders, fellow kayakers and local scullers enjoyed the colourful spectacle from the water. Even the local birdlife joined in on the parade!
16 Feb 2015: Magnificent, superb, brilliant and beautiful are a few ways to describe my sunrise experience this morning. The cloud and colour combinations left me speechless and in awe. What a wonderful way to start the working week, I hope you have a great day.
23 Dec 2014: I glided on the glassy waters of the Maria River this morning and paddled amongst the most amazing reflections. The Macleay region is so untouched and it offers you such spectacular scenery. I had the entire river all to myself; it is so nice to be reunited with the magic of the Macleay.
What a memorable 2014. I’ve continued to be mesmerised by the beauty of Canberra with each and every season offering a spectacle of colour.
I have peacefully paddled amongst soft pastels tones, navigated my way through pea soup fog and have been wowed by our -8 wintery conditions as I glide my way on glassy, often near frozen waters. Each and every sunrise is different and I am continually amazed by this natural beauty especially the golden sunrises which are special to our inland city.
Through my paddling experiences I have been fortunate to meet fellow paddlers, friends and others who have become influential in my life. Our common link is our love for Canberra and all that it offers.
I have found it extremely hard to put a selection of shots together as there have been so many memorable moments this year. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I have enjoyed capturing and sharing them.
I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and I hope that you have an enjoyable festive season. Thank you for your ongoing support and I look forward to seeing and hearing from you in the New Year.

Sunday 30 November 2014: Words cannot express the sunrise this morning. There was so much variety with the scenery transitioning from what looked like a pot of molten gold to a perfect rainbow arcing over the city scape. The clouds formations were amazing, often turbulent and forever changing.
29 Nov 2014: Today’s paddle started with an electric sunrise and sent me on a day of discovery. The colour of spring was reflected in the underwater world with fuchsia tangled tree roots glowing below the water’s surface.

Brilliant reflections to start the day
23 Nov 2014: What a spectacular sunrise this morning. This seems to be a typical pattern prior to a change in weather. Parts of the ACT reached a scorching 41 degrees today and the weather forecast is for storms and rain which will be well received by many.
27 Oct 2014: It’s was so peaceful out on the water, this is my morning meditation.
It’s simple…..for me it is all about seeing as many sunrises as possible.
Words cannot describe the sunrise I experienced in Canberra this morning. I’ll let the photos tell you the story of how magnificent it was. How lucky are we to be able to experience such beauty?
It’s been a long time since I have experienced a sunrise like this!
