Into The Wild Blue Yonder

Look closely. See that tiny speck near the center of the photo?

That's one of six.

Then there were five.

My hubby took me out for an early dinner on my Valentine Birthday. He then made a stop and picked up a Valentine Balloon bouquet. I know, sweet wasn't it! One more stop for a couple of purchases and a couple of movies from Redbox. I told my husband I'd go ahead and put the things in our Jeep while he retrived the movies. I opened the gate to the Jeep and put in one package when...whoosh....out flew a balloon before I knew what was happening. Hubby came out and saw the balloon and knew what had happened. He said too bad you didn't have your camera. I said I do; but before I could grab it quickly enough the brisk winds of the day had carried it a good distance. The first image is with my zoom lens as close as I could get it.

A very close crop.

This was taken a couple of Saturdays ago from my front porch. It was near sunset. The wild blue yonder was much bluer that day.
