Riding with Dad

by NeilEnnis 23 May 2010 No Comments Shortlink

My ten year old son, Harrison, and I rode some of our favourite tracks this glorious Sunday morning.

We went out via some old stock routes and came back along the shoreline of one of the local lakes.

He kept up pretty well. I’m aware that sometime in the next ten years our roles will probably be reversed and I’ll be keeping up with him pretty well.

For now I’m content to show my boy some of the fantastic tracks around our area that you never see when you speed by in a car.

We have to slow down to enjoy beauty.

Carla the Toy Voyager

Carla the Toy Voyager

We received a Toy Voyager in the mail recently. Carla is a cute little black bird all the way from cold Siberia. She’ll be staying with us for a few months and going on some adventures with us.

I introduced Carla to Lilly this afternoon, and the two of them instantly became friends.

Lilly showed Carla around our slightly overgrown but very green sub-tropical garden, and Carla obliged by perching on Lilly’s head.

If you feel like indulging your inner child, why not host a toy voyager for a few months? It will change the way you look at the world.

Samsonvale Sunset

Harrison and I took a quick ride by Lake Samsonvale this afternoon. As the sun was setting over the D’Aguilar Ranges, I was fortunate to get this quick picture. I’m so happy to be living in such a beautiful place and to be able to explore it with my son.

He’s doing pretty well on the hills too!

Redcliffe Easter Ride

by NeilEnnis 5 April 2010 No Comments Shortlink

Ken and I rode out to Redcliffe to meet everyone else for a picnic. It was a perfect day for it.

For someone who hasn’t ridden more than 10-15km at a time, Ken handled this 60km ride really well.

I think all the nice food at the picnic might have helped too!

Geocaching in Upper Caboolture

by NeilEnnis 20 February 2010 2 Comments Shortlink

Here’s some pictures of our Geocaching (http://geocaching.com) expedition today. If you like discovering new places, and don’t mind the challenge of trying to find something that has been craftily hidden, then you might really enjoy Geocaching. All you need is a GPS and a sense of adventure.

This is a historic church and cemetery in Upper Caboolture where we found a geocache. I was bowled over when I found the grave of a woman who had been born in 1799. The peaceful rural views are beautiful.
