Balloons

Did you ever wonder what happens to those helium balloons that get released into the atmosphere? They end up miles and miles away stuck in a tree!

Neat capture, but I hate the "balloon litter!"

always wondered...always figured....never seen :) good one

[Darrell Soper]

I do not think people ever think about the rubbish/pollution these sorts of things become. The plus would be the lovly colour in your winter trees.

I love the colour in this shot. It is sad to think where those balloons go. I feel sorry for the wildlife that has to deal with the aftermath. Very thoughtful share!

[Melissa Pike]

Pretty colors, but I always find things like this so upsetting. People really don't think about the environmental impact that their various garbage has.

[Rick Schies]

Yes they do, and sometimes those made with metallic material even get stuck in electrical wires and I assume they could cause problems.

Well Spotted!
Love the colours

Never even thought about it but you all are right..who cleans up the garbage...although I must say the colors in the tree are really nice.

Hey, I think those are the balloons we lost from Ava's party last January. Just kidding. We don't do the balloon letting go thing. Nice shot and thought Suzie.
