While eating dinner last evening, my eyes repeatedly gazed at a particular sight I saw out my window and I thought, “I wonder if I could capture what I am seeing with my camera.” I looked and wondered all the time as I ate. When finished with dinner, I went to get my long lens and focused on the scene before my eyes. What I saw on my LCD screen made me smile hugely.
Oh! How beautiful!!
That got me thinking how I would like to capture those Clematises I saw through my window as well. I wondered if I could get them from the angle from where I was sitting. So, after dinner I got my macro lens and out the door I went. I shot.
Then this …
and as I did I heard a foreign noise in the sky. Looking up I saw motorized parachuters. Never before have I seen this sight! Gosh darn it I didn’t have the right lens! Quickly I ran back in the house, grabbed my long lens and out the door like a flash I went!
First this guy went sailing high overhead ….
and then this guy.
Can you imagine the magnitude of freedom these men were feeling?
Jumping up and down with sheer joy, my heart soared with these men as I shouted YES! Again, again I say I was in the right place at the right time! If I had not followed through with trying to capture the sight my eyes saw through my window during dinner, and then go outside to capture my Clematises, I would have missed this golden opportunity. Now do you believe me when I keep repeating myself that Mother always always gives me Gifts?

Shruti, this is MY world! It is very real yet I suppose for those whose eyes are on this world, it would be surreal. This is how I live my life, every day! I refuse to allow the insanity that is raging out of control to steal my life and my joy.
I love my life. I love what I do with my life. And I love sharing all that I do with you. Start your own world …. use the excitement you feel from me and apply it to your own life. Stand only on what you love and go after that, ignoring all the rest. Your world will become magical!! Much love to you! xo

It seems that they’re fussy about where they are planted, but once they’re in a place they like, they reward us with beautiful blooms.

Good thing you were able to gather your gear so quickly. All the pictures are good ones, but I’m guessing you didn’t have much time to get those guys flying by.

I didn’t have a lot of time, no, Dan. I was “lucky” I again was in the right place at the right time. I totally messed up on the orange parachuter with my exposure way too high so when he U-turned and came back my way again I made sure this time I captured him correctly. If I hadn’t been photographing my flowers, I would have missed these guys. That puts me in awe how Mother and life seem to flow at times so effortlessly with me. SMILE!! xo

Beautiful pinks and purples. Those two are having fun. I did hang gliding when I was a teenager in the 70s. I got a sense of freedom from flying and a zing from the danger. I wouldn’t do it today.

Glad you enjoyed my Clematises, Tim. I was outside today for hours just being in my backyard drinking in the bird songs, the tantalizing flower smells and sights, and the gorgeous perfectly blue sky. It was fun watching those two men but actually do it? Not at this point in my life. xo

Hey Amy! Love it when a spontaneous unplanned event comes together! How cool! Acting upon your inner guidance you were able to see the whole gift from Mother!! You are someone who follows your guidance and it’s a great thing to share with others – your photos are the proof that it works! What beauty you captured too, and yes – the freedom those men were feeling, to be above it all. Wow! Thanks again for sharing! Much love, Donna

Hi, Donna! I love it too when things just unfurl so to speak effortlessly as though Something planned them to go that way. (smile) Yep, living life from the heart and listening to that inner guidance is how I really do live. I don’t think anyone can honestly understand this way of living until he or she experiences it. SO glad you stopped by to see this fun post today!! Much love to you!! (((HUGS)))!! XO
