I'm freeeeeee

As some of you will know Nicki and I had birthdays recently and we went out for dinner a few nights ago to celebrate. Nicki bought this balloon for us to celebrate our birthdays and we decided yesterday that a photo opportunity was looming,so we went down to the beach to set it free.

If you check out Nicki's site http://365project.org/winnedreamer/365/2013-08-09 you will see her photo of David and I on the breakwater at the marina setting it free and this is just after the 'launch'. I wonder where it ended up - hope it got as far as New Zealand. Should have put a note on it.

Great fun shot Babs Glad you had a good time :) I think I've learnt more from you than anyone else. Really appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to comment on my photos

Brilliant - wouldn't it be great is we could fly away like that sometimes without a care in the world.

[Yao RL]

Haha, I am waitng for its arrivals.

[Joey]

Awesome idea!! Message in a balloon ;-)

[Krista]

Lol- cool title Babs! Such a great idea for a photo op- love it!!

[Deb]

This worked really well. The title is perfect!!! and I agree with @jlouise It would be soooo good!!!! Remember the ball in Cyprus that came from Israel??????

[Angela]

Such fun!

[Lee]

Great shot Babs, what beautiful looking surroundings.

[Laurie F]

fantastic capture

[Paula W]

You've captured the balloon at the perfect moment and had fun too, a successful day all round I would say.

[Babs]

@eyesmile I agree Gena I am sure we would have lots of fun too. You might need a packed lunch though if you came here!!! I am on catch up tonight. We have been out today with our photo club and Nic was there too. Always fun outings.

[Babs]

@estherhelen Thanks so much Esther, but I don't see how I have helped you much.
Glad you like the photo, we are very cheap to run. Nic bought the helium balloon and we walked down to the beach and set it free.

[Babs]

@joluise Absolutely Jo, I wish I didn't have a care in the world too.

[Babs]

@yaorenliu Great, let me know when it gets there.

[Babs]

@joeyc Thanks Joey.

[Babs]

@tillycarter Glad it made you smile Krista. Nic bought the balloon for our birthday celebrations and we decided that it was too good a photo opportunity to let pass. Had a fun time. People on the beach must have thought we were mad. Who cares!!!

[Babs]

@gypsy6 Thanks Deb. Sort of remember the ball. Long time ago now.

[Babs]

@angelar Thanks Angela, it was fun. We are very easy to please.

[Babs]

@gamelee Thanks Lee. We are lucky, this beach is just down the bottom of our road. Never gets crowded either. We are just off the tourist circuit.

[Babs]

@lafish Thanks Laurie

[Babs]

@paulaw It was a successful day, thanks. We had another one today too, went out with our photo club to Newcastle today. Beautiful sunny day too. Doesn't get better than this in winter. We did have a winter day a couple of days ago, but luckily it didn't last.

I can feel the exhilaration! Excellent capture!
