Flying Along with my Red Balloon by alophoto

Flying Along with my Red Balloon

Footloose and fancy free.
Running through childhood in a giggling, sunshiny blur.

Slow down, it goes too fast.
Sit down and bask and relish the sweet, easy time!

I went to the park with my family over the weekend. And took my camera for a change. So very glad I did, because the park was especially photogenic and full of cute kids and balloons and beauty.

Have a blessed day and thanks for all of your fabulous support lately!

Beautiful!

This is great! An iconic image of the carefree life of a child. Makes me think of the 5th Dimensions, "Up Up And Away". But they were sing about a hot air balloon.

Wonderful and unusual using the sepia with the SC xx
August 7th, 2014  
@psychographer It was so stark in straight up b&w. I played and played with this one and finally went with this. I warmed it up with some fake sunshine to dreamy it up:). That made it more sepia.

This was a sucky shot that I salvaged with sc and a mega etsooi edit. It was sucky, but had great potential. @m9f9l
February 23rd, 2015  
Ahh... so the trick is to take a meh, or sucky shot! Now I get it!!!! (And I do love this one)
February 24th, 2015  
@m9f9l Yes, so go out there and take some crappy photos and make them magic with a little sc. And let me know if you need easy lessons for doing it in picmonkey:). Thanks!
February 24th, 2015  
@amandal Crappy shots! Sir, yes Sir!
