In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Inspiration.”
I really do aspire
To be a flyer, higher –
These are some things you may see
Viewing from our property …
Inspiration’s breathing in,
Expiration breathing out;
If more ‘in’ you fail to win,
You’ve expired, have no doubt!
Inspiration will abate
Once you reach expiry date,
With an early death, your fate
Is to have become ‘the late’.
Keep then, all that will inspire,
For the longest time you may:
These are things will lift you higher
At the ending of your day.
Watching these is true inspiration for the adventurous, and for the imagination.

It is, indeed. Lacks the immediacy of the old one, but still lots to see!

Such sights really inspire me to do it. Microlighting without the noise of the engine – bliss!
Trouble is, the sky is a long way to come down from if one has an ‘oops’ moment!

The whole flying bit is OK. It is just the landing that could be a big ‘Ouch!’
