balloon festival

.


Yesterday morning, we awoke at dawn to go the hot air balloon festival.

I love this festival. There is nothing more picturesque, beautiful, or simply magical than standing in a field as forty hot air balloons take flight as the day breaks.



I loved the feature balloons ~ especially the tree trunk with the toucans peeking from the branches... it reminded me of Enid Blyton's Enchanted Tree.



I loved how adults turned into children, mouths agape, faces turned to the sky at the sight of colourful balloons...



Balloons made perfect reflections into the water of the lake ~



Perfect bulbs of colour flowering in the sky..



I adored the bumble bees ~ twin bees that took flight in unison, holding hands ~ they looked so sweet.



it's the craziest thing to be looking at balloons of bumble bees and houses in flight ~



Afterwards we walked down to the lake front, watching the water, enjoying the sun.

I love this photo of chris in the sun...




Your photographers in the field ~ me and Chris.



A beautiful morning. Scrumptious sights.
My eyes feel sweetly full.
