Flight Path

There are many paths we take in life, but flying over Kauai, Hawaii last year, impressed my senses beyond belief. The feel of being in a helicopter is like experiencing a slow-motion journey comparable to that of a bird’s flight.

Here’s our ride arriving. Feeling excited and nervous at the same time.

Getting ready for lift-off.  Calming voice of the pilot settles the nerves.

Then, it’s action.  The butterflies slowly calm down and I start to enjoy the feeling of the floating sensation.  Dipping close to the hills mesmerized me.

Following the path of a river through the interior.

Wow!  This photo doesn’t do justice to view of the coastline. I had a fantasy of landing on one of the secluded beaches and having a picnic with a glass of wine.  Would have been wonderful!

Heading back to the airport following the path of the road below. This was the only waterfall image to survive window glare.

Memories of taking the leap and being ready to try something new.
