Be Yoda, it is.

Dragged ourselves out of bed before dawn to see the last morning of the balloon festival and were rewarded with a lovely dawn and calm skies.
Yoda was "protected" by the Storm Troopers but unfortunately today was tethered so I didn't get any shots of him drifting away.
thanks for comments.

@hermann @lindacarol @tosee thanks people, if the picture makes you smile then that's a big success for a picture! @carolmw @stevej thanks for your comments and noticing the clouds, I went to great effort to make sure I got them in shot! @ivan @bella_ss @kimdavis thanks for your comments, I actually hadn't noticed the bird flying out of Yoda's ear until I saw the shot, but it really is a very big balloon!
