19th February 2014 - F for Flying

I was packing my car ready for a holiday and was just putting my camera bag into the boot when there was a whoosh above my head and this hot air balloon was right above me. I grabbed my camera and got some shots. The people in the basket were waving at me. lesson to be learned - always have your camera nearby - you never know what's going to happen!!

Best large of course!!

We are having a rest day today. I think we are exhausted from the move and the coughs and colds haven't helped.

Many thanks for stopping by and commenting. I am so sorry I am so behind with my comments on your shots - I am feeling guilty about it. Once we have sorted ourselves out I will be able to get back to 365 properly!!
Lovely shot. How does Finlay get on with hot air balloons? One of our cats used to go spare and rush in miaowing his head off and trying to hide whenever one appeared overhead

Beautiful capture and what an amazing sky too

I'm behind too. Just remember this is supposed to be fun, not stressful. You caught the balloon during a burn, and that adds excitement.

Love the sky and the flame........I loved going up in a balloon...thought I would be scared, but it was awesome fun :)

Don't worry about being behind, I think we all ebb and flow with our comments and what with moving sis in and being poorly....take a breath and join in where you can x
