in response to your requests here are some balloons in colour

I counted up the number of balloons in a shot and this one had more than any of my other shots, and I figured the more the merrier .....

I'm hoping the weather will be good this weekend and I can get some more shots. The festival finishes this weekend too. I also hoping that my cold will be gone by then, it is lingering

@tigerdreamer @filsie65 - there may be a few more colourful ones yet

Great reflection and capture.

Wow! This looks so exciting Megan; I would LOVE to see that many balloons in one place. It's great how the water doubles the number of balloons by reflecting them. Feel better very soon, and take gentle care, Les x

This is fabulous. Like colour so much more because of splashes of brightness against clouds and water
