One evening I was at the kitchen sink, cutting up veggies for dinner. The window in this part of the kitchen faces mostly southeast. Aware of the golden light shafts coming into the kitchen from behind me, I turned, looking over my shoulder to the northwest which is the position of the setting sun this time of year. After a very cloudy couple of days, it was especially glorious. But my eyes found a few whiskers of grass, rimmed with golden light and I dried my hands and ran for the iPhone. The grass was probably 12 metres outside of the door. When I returned, I showed my bemused husband what I was photographing. He said “How did you see that from across the kitchen with your back turned?” I replied, jokingly, “It’s my gift.” And later I realised, it really is one of my gifts. That is why I am a Light Chaser. I have to be, to share my gift.

Thank you Francesca. We humans are endlessly fascinating with our many gifts and complexities. Often it takes the observations of others to point these things out to us.

What a beautiful meaning to your name. People ask me all the time what my name means and I wish I could tell them, especially something that nice! Thank you for reading.

Haha, yes, even my husband was surprised at that one! It often happens when I least expect it, making the moments even more special.

Yes, your love of light and talent of what to do with it is a gift. I I love that we get to share in it. Some people make thousands of dollars from photos that don’t even come close to what you see!! This one was calling to you. It was chasing you. (And as commented above, this is only ONE of your gifts.)
