Luckily, our trip out to Warwick last Friday offered a number of other photo opportunities aside from the sunflowers that we were searching for (and that we found were mostly already in seed). This shot comes from a quick stop to look at the storm clouds that were welling up and heading over Cunningham Gap towards the coast. I love how vibrant the colours in Australia are!

A gorgeous sky reflects off the very aptly-named Brown Lake on Queensland's North Stradbroke Island.

The sun dips behind the Glass House Mountains and the Great Dividing Range, as seen from the top of Wild Horse Mountain. Top tip: don't go up there without mosquito repellent. I hardly paid attention to taking this photo because I was so busy slapping at the swarm of mosquitos that descended on us!

On the second of two foggy mornings this week, I headed up Mt. Coot-tha in hopes of a good sunrise over the fog. I wasn't disappointed. And that square in the distance? That's the tallest of the buildings in Brisbane's CBD.

It's fun doing steel wool twirling with a friend. It's a lot more fun doing it with a meetup group of 20 other people, all of whom are willing to spin lots of burning steel wool under the full moon!

Everything turned a pastel hue just after this sunrise at Point Cartwright on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.

Ahh, how's the serenity? Point Cartwright was a great place to spend Sunday morning watching the sun come up as the beach slowly became busier with people starting their morning routines, whether that be walking the dog or doing yoga.

Waves doing what they do best...the wave. This was from an amazing morning at Snapper Rocks when the sun rose in just the right spot to be caught in the splash of the waves as they came crashing in to shore.

The incoming tide sweeps over the rocks and into one of the many channels at Point Cartwright, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.

October is my favourite time of year in Brisbane. Not only is the weather gorgeous without the summer humidity, but it's also the one month where the city turns purple with blooming jacarandas. These trees line many a street in the city, including this bike path at the University of Queensland.

The sky begins to light up in pink (about 20 mins before sunrise) over one of the many boathouses standing on the southern edge of the Maroochy River on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
