Ilona, I've had that exact same experience, where all things of beauty unfold in front of my eyes like a planned theme park, only I'm the only one attending.
A bear saundered across the road in front of me no more then 15 feet and no one else was on the road, a buck with a huge rack of antlers stood chest deep in a field of wildflowers staring at me as if to say "I'm posing, go ahead and take my picture", but I had no camera with me.
Sometimes it a simple sunset, so colorful and streaming through the clouds, that it brings tears to your eyes. Shadows of a cloudy sky flowing over the forest terrain .... making the trees look like they are dancing.
Once I saw a rainbow so bright you could barely see the terrain behind it, it looked as if it was solid and by the time I got my car pulled over to grab my camera...... it was faded.
These moments are very vivid in my mind and I think of them as God's gift, just for me to see. Now when those kind of things happen...... I don't even try to get the camera out.... I know these are meant for my eyes only, if I tried to get the camera out I would miss the moment in all it's splendor.
Thanks for sharing your vision and allowing me to share mine!
