Balloon Man by onewing

Balloon Man

People Friday again and I spotted the balloon man in Nelson Bay when I was there yesterday. During the school holidays he appears and makes balloon creations for the children.
I took a photo of him last year http://365project.org/onewing/365/2013-04-16
and in today's picture he is having a well earned rest and taking in the sun and the scenery.

I am posting earlier than I normally do today as I have got a busy afternoon ahead. Hope you are all having a Happy Easter.

Today's animal photo

Just noticed that the date is wrong on my camera. I thought I had put it back to the correct time, but obviously not.
Great candid image, love the Donations Blessed :-)

Happiness........ (I have 3 watches and hardly ever wear them so one or two are always wrong for ages and then right when it's time to change again.)

Such a bright, colourful shot. Interestingly, we don't have traveling balloon people - ice cream, yes - balloons, no.

What a wonderfully colourful shot Babs. You have a real feeling for these kinds of photos.

@eyesmile I guess they find me. We have a lot of eccentrics in Australia and people with interesting faces too and I just start up a conversation with most of them saying how fantastic they look and can I take their photo. The balloon man i have taken a photo of before, you may remember. Here he is on his tea break though. He is such an interesting chap.

@hermann @karlow75 @beryl @lynnz @quietpurplehaze @dgrynn @kathiecb @onlyme111 @lafish @april16 @golftragic Thank you all so much for your lovely comments. I have been out the last couple of days and am on catch up again tonight.
The balloon man is at the marina each school holidays and bank holidays. He must be a local. He is a lovely character.
Just goes to show what you can do with your old wheelie bin! (For those outside Australia the wheelie bin is a garbage/rubbish bin and that is what the balloon man has to carry his wares around.

I think I have put my camera to the correct time now Hazel. I only put it back 12 hours instead of 24. Doh!
