Hump Day Hunt - Week Seventy-OneBirds do it...
Bees do it...
Our word for the week is:
Fly
It's been a while since I've participated in Foto Pherrets because my husband and I were busy training for the Hamburg Marathon (which we ran) and I've been busy studying Anatomy and Physiology (I'm working on a Masters degree in physiotherapy.) Now that the marathon is over, I have time to participate in some of my favourite memes again. So here is my "Fly" photo.

When my husband and I were in Switzerland in February, we went paragliding. It was an amazing experience. We each went tandem, strapped to an experienced paragliding instructor, and we flew through the air. It was awesome to be flying, just like a bird. We took off at the top of a mountain, and just drifted under canopy.

I've skydived before, but didn't enjoy free-fall. Once the parachute opened and we were under canopy, however, I loved skydiving. So paragliding was perfect for me, since there was no free-fall and we were under canopy the entire time. It was a fabulous experience.
