**Yes! Explore #1 - November 20th**

Taken from my front lawn (well till Wednesday when we move) in Cannon Hill, Brisbane, Australia - this was the third massive storm in 3 days that has broken rainfall records in Brisbane for the most rainfall in November since 1981.

The media claims it is the worst flooding since the infamous 1974 Brisbane flood - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Brisbane_flood

Once the storm passed I headed out from my safe haven on the front deck to find this amazing cloud spewing out lightning.

I was out shooting a spot in the area when I saw the storm coming in the distance, so I waited and got a few shots and then rain came. I managed to get past McDs on Wynnum Road into the industrial area to put the full beam on to see where I was headed. Just as I passed Cannon Hill station the hail started and I got in the garage just as it hammered down.

I must thank the neighbours for the light trails.

Today is my 7month 365 anniversary!! And my day 200!! I am over half way through now, how crazy! The past 7 months has changed so much for me - I am so happy. Not that I wasn’t before, no way, but everything has become so clear and I feel like I’ve found my purpose: To be happy with the one I love doing what I love.

7months from now, I will be making the biggest change in my life. I’ll be moving to America to chase my dreams, and it feels INSANE. I was thinking the other day, if I had known this would be my last year in england, I wish I would have done something to remember it by. Then I realized… duh, 365. And if it wasn’t for 365 and flickr, I might not have met my Aaron, the whole reason I am going to move. Crazy, huh!

This photoshoot was horrible. It was raining all the way through, I got so muddy you would not believe! The tree is right by my old high school, and just as I started shooting the school bell went and out poured a million teenagers - awesome!

The days are passing really fast now. It is almost time for me to fly back across the world and be with Aaron again, and I can’t control myself! There is this huge buzz going on inside my head even when everything else seems to be completely quiet and completely still. It’s crazy.

We stayed 2 days camping in the Karo village of Korcho. Of course, all the kids of the village came to see the white people! This picture has been taken early in the morning, the kids were coming to see the tents, and i asked them to be quiet cos people still slept… they understood, and all stayed together in silence! A nice moment.
