Just letting off a little steam.

There is beauty and strength in the silence.
I salute those with indomitable compassion. Unwavering in their kindness. Often it flows so effortlessly it is scarcely seen. Do not mistake it for weakness as they wear the weight of others pain on their shoulders in the hopes to ease the burden. They are a powerhouse. They seek to build you up because they know we are stronger together. They stand strong in their conviction.

I see you and all that you do.

I salute you.

Is there ever a better time than now to breath in the small moments. The rushing of water soothing the restless heart. The smell of the first drops of rain when they have finally fallen on the scorching road. A message from a friend that puts a smile on your face. The sound of the wind when it rustles the trees. A familiar smile that lights up your being. Relish the now and take hold of it.

Later isn’t guaranteed, breath in the now.

Cutting a new path of flow and just letting go.

Be brave. You are shedding old ways and beliefs that no longer fit who you are becoming. Be brave, dear one, you are becoming your authentic self.

It is time to explore self again.

She doesn’t ask for attention. She just is, her beauty draws you in.

Sometimes you have to look a little harder to find your path. But man, it's worth the trouble.

When a last minute trip to Tinaroo Dam turns into a video edit opportunity. 😆

A fun afternoon of wakeboarding and getting thrashed around on the biscuit at Tinaroo Dam. The end of the Cairns Show long weekend is prime time for some fun...

Christa from Shape and Ride in Tasmania held a great clinic today at Smithfield MTB Park, Cairns, which concentrated on cornering and jumping. A really fun clinic even when the the heavens decided that finally dump some rain on our trails. Everyone was still keen to get into it and practice all the skills that Christa taught. Thanks to the great bunch of ladies that happily handled having a camera thrown in their faces while they were learning new skills. Hope to have many more clinics just like it in our area.

Some shots from the DH race on Sunday. Got there later than usual so only got to shoot the race run (so i'm sorry if I didn't get a shot of you) and the awesome vibe at the Club Site. Always fun, thanks everyone that makes these events so great.
