A stunning winter sunset over Raby Bay Harbour. Winter Sunrises and sunsets are just the best.
CL 108 Golden Glow of Daybreak
Not much of a sunrise but a lovely golden glow reflecting on the low tide of Cleveland Point
This sunrise was just beautiful. I could see that it was going to be amazing so I jumped in the car and headed down to Raby Bay harbour to grab some shots before work. Every day I count my blessings that I live in such a beautiful suburb. This sunrise went from this stunning pink the brilliant orange and the light was amazing too.
Happiness is a sleeping baby. Mabel and her baby joey are residing in the park near my house. I just love to head over there with my camera and capture them
A fiery sunset over Cleveland Point last night. My heart goes out to those who have lost their homes and to those who are being evacuated and have no idea if their homes are still standing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. To all the fire fighters - you are the bravest of the brave and we can't thank you enough for what you do.
Look what I found at the end of my street yesterday. I'm so lucky to be able to see these beautiful creatures in the wild.
Sunrise this morning was a bit of a corker don't you agree? I haven't been out to shoot the sunrise in quite some time so I am absolutely thrilled to have walked away with this one.
An incredible storm cell over Raby Bay brought amazing lightning and LOTS or torrential rain.
A wide view of our beautiful Raby Bay Harbour. If you have never been - hop on a train from Brisbane as it will drop you right on the doorstep to this stunning spot. You can dine at one of the many restaurants on the boardwalk or come on a Sunday and visit the markets before having a bite to eat here. Its a great day out and you will love it.
Sunset over Raby Bay Harbour
When I was taking this shot I had it in my mind that I would turn this to black and white but I decided to leave it as a colour image as I really like the muted rusty colour on the pylons.
CL 104 Raby Bay Ablaze with Colour
This sunrise was just beautiful. I could see that it was going to be amazing so I jumped in the car and headed down to Raby Bay harbour to grab some shots before work. Every day I count my blessings that I live in such a beautiful suburb. This sunrise went from this stunning pink the brilliant orange. It really looks like the sky is on fire doesn't it?
I love this time of day where the sun is just beginning to go down. it reflects the most beautiful light.
The fiery twilight colours over Cleveland Point was due to terrible bush fires this past week. My heart goes out to those who have lost their homes and to those who are being evacuated and have no idea if their homes are still standing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. To all the fire fighters - you are the bravest of the brave and we can't thank you enough for what you do.
A series of storms swept through Brisbane giving some welcome relief after the temperature rose to the high thirties today. This image was taken at Raby Bay Harbour as the 2nd storm came through. I was so lucky to capture this as it was the only bolt that came down while I was there.
Its a hard life living in the Redlands, imagine having to wake to this view every morning :)
CL 35 Storms Don't Last Forever
Mammatus clouds over Raby Bay - this storm brought rain and hail to the Scenic Rim west of Brisbane but here in Cleveland all we got was this impressive view as it headed out to sea.
Friday nights weather event of low fog sitting over Raby Bay Harbour. It was thick, it was eerie and it was awesome. You could hear the chatter and laughter of the patrons enjoying themselves in the boardwalk restaurants but you just couldn't see them. Morning rain and storms hit Brisbane and much of South-East QLD during Friday morning which allowed for low level moisture to linger for much of the day as it became trapped under thick cloud and wasn’t allowed to evaporate. As the day progressed, the sun struggled to peak through and this allowed the second chain in the process to occur and that was cold temperatures. Brisbane experienced its coldest day in 3 years yesterday and it doesn’t matter if it wasn’t cold in reality… for the region, it was. The increased moisture caused by showers in the atmosphere allowed for the third chain in the process to occur and thats where the increased moisture mixing with cooler temperatures and surface humidity allows clouds to descend and act as fog. www.google.com.au/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=Q1JhWcChKq_M8geSoq0g&...
CL 110 Sunrise on Dampier Canal
Sunrise over the Dampier Canal in Raby Bay. I count myself lucky every day to live in the Redlands where this is only 5 mins away from where I live.
Fog is a fairly rare occurrence on the Bayside of Brisbane so I was very excited to be able to head down to the local harbour and get some early morning shots before work. Fog regularly happens west of Brisbane and it can make it into the city where it blankets the skyscrapers but it rarely makes it way to the Redlands.
This sunrise was just beautiful. I could see that it was going to be amazing so I jumped in the car and headed down to Raby Bay harbour to grab some shots before work. Every day I count my blessings that I live in such a beautiful suburb. This sunrise went from this stunning pink the brilliant orange (more shots to come). I really love the pink hues in this one don't you?
Not a cloud in the sky - this is all smoke from the all the bushfires that are surrounding Brisbane at the moment.
Look what I found at the end of my street yesterday. I'm so lucky to be able to see these beautiful creatures in the wild.
This sunrise was a very subtle sunrise - no bright stunning colours but very pretty nevertheless
An incoming storm heading towards Cleveland. fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, it didn't amount to anything but it was still great to be out and about shooting again.
CL 33 Every Storm Runs Out Of Rain
Mammatus clouds over Raby Bay - this storm brought rain and hail to the Scenic Rim west of Brisbane but here in Cleveland all we got was this impressive view as it headed out to sea.
I really didn't think that there was going to be a sunset this particular evening as the dark gloomy clouds were coming in thick and fast but Mother Nature has a way of keeping me on my toes.
I was out shooting on a grey dreary morning recently when the sky surprisingly lit up for a brief 30 seconds. It made the morning all worth while.
CL 107 Foggy Morning in Colour
Colour version of the previous image - which one do you prefer? Fog is a fairly rare occurrence on the Bayside of Brisbane so I was very excited to be able to head down to the local harbour and get some early morning shots before work. Fog regularly happens west of Brisbane and it can make it into the city where it blankets the skyscrapers but it rarely makes it way to the Redlands
C 101 Raby Bay Fire in the Sky
An amazing sunset over Raby Bay a week or so ago. This is the first Sunset I have taken all year and it was great to be out again.
Cuddles with Mum Like all marsupial babies, baby koalas are called joeys. A koala joey is the size of a jellybean! It has no hair, no ears, and is blind. Joeys crawl into their mother's pouch immediately after birth, and stay there for about six months. That's about how long it takes for them to see, grow ears and hair, and walk (or waddle) on their own. When they're about six months old, joeys venture out into the world, although they stay pretty close to their mother—usually by riding on her back. www.nationalgeographic.org/media/koala-and-joey/

CL 89 Oh What a Beautiful Morning!
Sunrise this morning was a bit of a corker don't you agree? I haven't been out to shoot the sunrise in quite some time so I am absolutely thrilled to have walked away with this one. This is the same morning as the #88
An incredible storm cell over Raby Bay brought amazing lightning and LOTS or torrential rain.
I came across this image over the weekend and realised that I never edited it. It makes me wish that I was on a tropical island and not heading off to work
A stunning way to begin a day - I don't mind missing a sleep in when I am greeted with scenes like this.
