My Featured Blogger this week is Cindy Knoke, photographer extraordinaire, whose images typically emanate from her home, “the Holler,” in rural California (yes, there is such a thing). But in this case, they’re a bird’s-eye view of paradise, namely the Hawaiian island of Moloka’i (“land of abundance”). They’re refreshing just to look at — imagine being there! No human-made environment can match the world we were born into. And few marvels can match the ability of human eyes like Cindy’s to reveal it!
Check out,
a bird’s eye view,
of Moloka’i,
taken from a helicopter,
with the doors removed.
Oh, to be a bird and soar over these islands!
I flew solo with a skillful pilot named Nick.
No one in my family wanted to go with me.
I can’t imagine why not!
It was an incredible experience.
We flew over other places too, so stay tuned & Cheers to you from Moloka’i~

In addition to stunning landscapes (usually not in aerial views), Cindy Knoke’s blog is replete with photos of flowers and wildlife that any pro could be proud of.

Since I can’t see myself in a helicopter with the doors removed, these spectacular photos by a gifted—and fearless—photographer are deeply appreciated!

Fantastic photos; makes me worship our Creator every time I see photos like that. I’ve often thought how great it would be if I could fly like a bird; maybe I should sky-dive–or maybe not! 😀

Better check with the Creator on that one, too. ;>)
