Ok, someone make a decision! Will the show go on?
|
Ok, it would have been nice if I had gotten the men's feet in the picture too. But I was intent on getting the blue sky, the farm in the background, the hot air balloon trailer, queen911 taking a photo and these men carrying something heavy - all in one picture. I don't know what was in the bag but the guys reminded me pall bearers carrying a casket. But they were smiling.
|
One guy exhibited his kite flying skills. He was so good I thought it was some new-fangled remote-controlled kite! (Is there such a thing?)
|
And everyone waits...
|
These balloonists decided since they weren't going to fly in their beautiful balloon to get out a few kites to fly against a tilting horizon. (Note to self: I should figure out how to straighten that in Photoshop Elements.)
|
Despite the tilting horizon they got their kite up with no problems. Why isn't it ever that easy when I try it? (Are there remote controlled kites?)
|
Some ladies steal a peek (against a tilting horizon - guess I shouldn't have had that glass of wine before I was kidnapped) at a basket (do they call those gondolas?) and a trailer that appears to have feet! I didn't realize the baskets were so tall. Do they use ladders to get in them?
|
Hey, what's going on here?
|
It's hard to imagine the massive size of these balloons.
|
Balloon and kites.
|
A rainbow
|
All blown up with hot air. Now what?
|
Inside - kids were amazed by it all...
|
...and so were some adults.
|
Laura (picturemom) looking for the perfect shot. C'mon, Laura, it's time to go.(I think the balloon and it's heavy contents of people were tipping the horizon to the left a little on this one)
|
And the band played on...
|
 |
ahhh! I wouldn't have posted my blog today if I would have known you posted this (I try really hard to avoid posting the same topic!!)- sorry about that! I just love the "rainbow" shot- great angle!!! have a terrific weekend my friend! R

What a way to broaden your horizons, even if they are a little tilted:) Glad you gals had a good time!

You continue to impress me every time I see your post. We both need to get out more. you will have to teach me about compositions. Great go. ( and why oh why did you put me in your photos?)

Very good action shots, I be one of those kite type of people :) Have not done much this year, but I don't think they have a remote control kite haha but that sounds like a good idea :) The kite in #3 is a fighter kite it sure does look like remote control, looks like you had a blast

O.K. I'm right there hoping that they get those things up in the air. I, too, love kites—no remote control on those babies. Wonderful series.
