30 Nov 2013: Green was the scene and it set the tone for this morning’s theme, get up early if you are keen. Is it obvious that I have been reading to many Dr Seuss books to my five years old? I had a pleasurable paddle into the wetlands this morning and immersed myself in a world of green and returned back happy as a bean.
I think that I discovered the wetland portal into a world of green.
14 Nov 2013:
The first thing I noticed this morning was that LBG’s water levels have risen due the recent rains. On the 25 October 2013, NCA Acting Chief Executive, Andrew Smith said a technical assessment was commissioned to determine if the lake level could be raised prior to finishing work on the dam. ‘The NCA has received independent advice that it is safe to return the lake to full supply level,’ Mr Smith said. This was a perfect opportunity for me to drift amongst the magnificent mirror reflections of our wetlands.
Drifting my way through the wetlands is always an enjoyable experience
27 OCT 2013: The sunrise changed colour three times this morning as it burnt through the fog. There were beams of light burning through the Mist, pelicans were silhouetted in the fog and the swans drifted elegantly on glassy waters. All of these elements combined to make for a very relaxing start to my Sunday.

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 🙂
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.
This morning I have selected a few of my favourite shots (33) that showcase how wonderful the past year has been.Today is quite a significant day for me as it is marks 12 months since the Lake View blog commenced with the Canberra Times. This morning I have selected a few of my favourite shots that showcase how wonderful the past year has been. No two days are the same, and each day provides me with a natural light show that sometimes leaves me gasping in wonder. What I love about photography and paddling is that it provides me with an incredibly calm headspace.
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I have enjoyed capturing these moments.
12 June 2013: As I paddled my way up into the wetlands this morning I was met with marbled skies and mirror reflections. Yet again I was treated to another beautiful pastel transformation. On my return I noticed that the containment lines had been removed from the new Kingston foreshore development site which gave me a chance to have a sneak peak and capture a few early progress shots.
3 June 2013: What a stunning silhouette sunrise this morning. I really didn’t expect to be paddling amongst crystal clear skies and sub zero temperatures after the rainy weekend that we just had. I can tell that we are definitely in winter now as my finger and toes are still thawing out from this morning’s frosty float on Lake Burley Griffin. I always return back so calm and peaceful after a paddle into the wetlands. How could you not when there are so many stunning silhouette reflections. I hope that you enjoy the photos.
The morning began with crystal clear skies and calm conditions.
23 May 2013: There was no need for speed this morning when you have reflections like this taking place. The protection that the wetlands provided made for some amazing reflection despite the overcast and windy conditions. A paddle into the our wetlands always guarantees a calm and peaceful experience and this morning didn’t disappoint.
6.47am: A paddle into the wetlands is always beautiful.
28 April 2013: This morning ‘Captain Nemo’ and I cruised into the Jerrabomberra Wetlands on their open day in my double sea kayak the ‘Big Bopper’. It’s hard to imagine that our wetlands are only 5kms from our CBD and only a stone throw from Lake Burley Griffin’s foreshore. They are easily accessed and you can enjoy them by walking, bike riding or as I prefer, kayaking. Either way, what ever mode you opt for you will have an enjoyable experience. I hope that you enjoy the shots.
Going through the Wetlands Check Point.
