F/Alphabe-Thursday

Hang gliding in Pickering - last year

F is for FLYING

No, not me!  But I do enjoy watching other people do it. I have a fear of heights.

I haven't been posting to Alphabe-Thursday because my husband has been in the hospital and finding photos for this meme was way too challenging. But now that he's out, I'm b-a-c-k!

Coming in for a landing

I am linking to Jenny Matlock at Alphabe-Thursday HERE

    great in-flight photos of the non-feathered kind; not something I'd fancy doing either...

    I will take their pictures, too. And yours are just excellent. But I'll never understand people who do this sort of thing! :) Never!

    hope your husband is much better. Not much fun to be in the hospital. Great shots of this hang glider. Better to see one, than to be one. LOL

    Perhaps your husband and you are flying high? Yes, sky diving looks like fun, but I can only do it vicariously.

    I just love these. That first one looked like a big old dragonfly.

    Wouldn't want my kids and/or husband doing it, though. Once I went parasailing and that is the extent of my bravery.

    So glad your hubby is home! Glad you're back with Alphabe-Thursday. I don't think I'd be able to do that hang gliding thing either, but I will be flying in four days.

    Floating and gliding...letting all the problems of the world drift away.

    Or so they seem to me.

    Perhaps they are just fraught with more problems...such as wind speed and then have even more to worry about.

    So glad to hear your husband is out of the hospital.

    How frightening that must have been for you all.

    Thanks for linking.

    And hugs and healing to your husband.

    A+
