Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.
Like River I usually run with a theme. And this week it is one which has made my heart sing. I am a hot-air balloon tragic and each March we have a balloon festival. Lots of balloons and ordinarily a 'feature' balloon or two. This year they were SkyWhale (which some of you will remember) and a pirate parrot.
His high and skinniness had a very bad night on Wednesday, and gave up and got up around 4am. As a rule he is decidedly a 'spring out of bed at the crack of noon' person, so I took advantage of this, and we headed off a little before six to see the balloons inflated and take off.
I took around 934, 711 photos (conservatively speaking). A few of them follow. Clicking on the photos will, of course, embiggen them.
Despite rather a lot of cloud it was a magical morning. The sunrise was lovely too.
I have cajoled my youngest brother, and we are heading out shortly in the hopes of seeing it all over again (though it is quite windy, so I am a bit worried that it won't happen today). More photos will follow later this week.
Update: Sadly the wind continued, and we didn't get to see them today. How lucky that the smaller portion had a bad night earlier this week. And yes, I do feel a bit guilty for saying that. A bit.
