Not 1, but 4 balloons in the sky over Canberra this morning (the 4th was already over into the western basin when I took the picture).
On a clear day, crisp -2 morning with a frost, the balloons looked spectacular. Today perhaps I should have cycled on the city side again, the photo would have been much better. But I just wanted to get to work. I had left 7 minutes later than normal and so thought I had better ride the "normal" way.
The sun hit me before I got to the golf course. The mist was on the Mulanggari and Gungaderra Grasslands and then again at the Crace Nature Park. It looked wonderful. It was very icy in the frost hollow. I'm convinced that section of the ride is about 5 degrees colder than anywhere else.
I had left late because I felt awful this morning, even considered not riding, taking the car or even having a sick day. I started out on the bike thinking I could always turn around partway and catch the bus back but I'm pleased to report that the bike ride has made me feel much better. I feel normal again.
See the healing power of exercise.
