Balloons!

Balloon flying over my head in the back yard

Weird shape - not a gas balloon, but pretty

Fall colors - this tree is in my back yard also

So close - the dogs were not happy
Thought he was going to land on us

flying over the house next door

Every year I say the same thing ...I am NOT going to take balloon pictures this year! I only have 1000 or so. And after a while they all start to look alike. But then, you awaken on a beautiful fall morning (like today) to that magnificent sound - the propane tanks being fired up. It sounds so close, so you grab your camera, run outside, and this is what you see. All over the place! For some reason, I don't know, balloons just fill ny heart with happiness. There's something so friendly about ballooning. We are the best city on earth right now!
