Come Fly With Me

Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away…

It seems to be a recurring theme when 1001011 and I get to spend some ropey time together. The idea discussions quite often follow this train of thought:

• Have you any ideas you’d like to try?
• I’d really like to fly! How about you?
• I’d like to try out this (insert example of harness) tie.
• Oooh, I like the sound of that…
• And it works for suspension too so it works for us both.
• Yeayyyy!!!

In his rope I feel strong, fierce, powerful. And when I’m in his rope, in the air… everything intensifies.

There may not be any exotic booze, but there’s plenty of tea and (usually) cake. And I always glide, starry-eyed, towards the sky.

The header image was taken before the summer holidays had begun. I’d slinked over for a super shiny afternoon, and when I emerged a few hours later, into the dusk, we both had huge grins on our faces. But they didn’t fade, like the evening light. They never do…

I loved this image and am disappointed in myself that I hadn’t posted it yet. Last week he popped round for an overdue session, and my predictable request pinged across the ether through our whatsapp chat:

Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away…

We had other ideas in mind too, and I looked forward to creating a picture for September’s prompt- which didn’t quite happen as planned. You see, I’d completely forgotten that it was “No Humans”. Fortunately I didn’t get myself all tied up in knots about it… Then I realised this one was still sat in my media archives, waiting to be published. Silly me! But it’s not too late to rectify this situation. So here I am.

Would you like to come fly with me?
