Beautiful composition, Cindy, and those colors....

Thanks for the thoughts, Sally.
Appreciate your comments, Pete. They were floating over the water and came down there. Probably made it as far as they could. Sometimes they have to be towed to land, but he made it to that little spit of land. I did not stick around to see if he went back up enough to get onto a better piece of land, or if he put it down there. They like to get to a spot where the rescue truck can get right up to them. They often lay a tarp down to cushion the balloon, while they are rolling it up. They don't want to have to move it far on land, as it is very heavy.

Excellent - was this intentional to be so close to the water?

Wonderful capture Cindy. We are all thinking of you.

Thanks, Terry and Hal. We have a little lull right now, so I hope that I can participate fully again. I've missed all of you.

A good colourful image, Cindy.
