‘In a large garden, I was interested in the different plants, having never been to Asia before [British visitor], when I noticed a very bright shining ball of light around a flower head, about eight inches from the ground. It was if the flower was glowing with life. I said out loud to it ‘oh you are so beautiful, can I take your photo please?’ and it felt ok to do so, so I did. I then immediately decided to try another shot, without asking, and did so. The first image clearly shows the intense ball of light, the second photo just shows a normal flower, no light. Asking permission was an instinctive act, and I felt a little embarrassed for not asking the second time. I do have the photo, I printed it from my memory card. I do see things that others don’t, quite often, but to be able to photograph something, I thought was exciting. I have also managed this, with another flower, in Australia. That one was a rose in a friend’s garden. Again, my open admiration, I think was a key.’ ‘Glowing ball of light.’ Why a fairy experience? ‘Because I believe that fairies are energy-based beings, able to be perceived in differing ways.’
