This image was taken in May of 2015 and one of the highlights of my life- a private ride in a hot air balloon! I've never processed this image before but when getting it ready to post today, the quote challenge popped into mind the image turned out to be a "two-fer".
That is a wonderful experience. Hubby and I did that about 30 years ago in the Napa wine country. Definitely a bucket list item I am glad to have experienced.
@jesperani Absolutely- even though I had butterflies for quite a bit of the ride- I ignored them! A very dear friend arranged it- her son's father-in-law is a balloonist- so it was just the three of us in the basket and we were up in the air for a couple hours. Amazing!!
@farmreporter That was what surprised me the most- how quiet it was. I was expecting to hear the wind all the time- and not at- that was amazing! Thank you Wendy!
