When the floods of life start to drown you, remember that God can carry you above the storm, and dance in the rain.

This was a crazy day in Perth, but possibly my favorite from our entire Australia trip. We had booked a ferry to Rottnest Island, but due to a crazy storm (with sideways rain and everything), all transportation to and from the island was cancelled for the day. Michael and I were determined to make the most of the day, and called an Uber to take us to Crawley Edge Boatshed—an adorable blue house on the water that I had seen on Instagram.
.
Our Uber driver was the friendliest person ever (like a cool uncle) and one of the highlights of our trip. He offered to turn off the meter at one point and show us around Kings Park and other cool spots! When I mentioned the boat shed, he chuckled and said that he 1) never understood why tourists took pictures here and 2) drove by this morning and saw that it was flooded. FLOODED?! Well, I don't know when we're going to return to Perth, so I cheerily said, "Let's try it, anyway!"
.
Cut to the boatshed, and indeed, it is flooded. The pathway to the house is submerged in water. Michael and I have a good laugh about it, and I brace myself for ruining my shoes—because of course, I'm not going to come out all this way without walking over! Our Uber driver stood there, watching in total amusement as I splashed around the water here.

Have you ever had your heart set on taking photos somewhere to the point that other people thought you were (endearingly) crazy?

I've never met a lighthouse I didn't like. Maybe it's because I see them as a beacon of hope, a guide in the dark, a reassurance of better things to come and a promise of your current storm to end. Do you also have a thing for beautiful lighthouses?
.
Also, you guys! I am BEYOND stoked to share that I'm doing my very first story takeover on @teamkaptainkenny! Head over there to learn more about the beaches, the views, the food, both the wonderful and horrible history, the quirks and, naturally, the QUOKKAS of Rottnest Island.
