I just love a good Hot Air Balloon Show, after 20 years I’ve managed to be at the Annual Balloon Fiesta, at least 3 days each year!, the facination is that each year there is a display of new special shapes Balloons, some strange bordering bazzar, but the ones that light up the skies also summon the cheers from the crowd, this special shape and others I’ve managed to amaze their own albums, Meet the “flying Turtle” a Crowd Favorite, Enjoy the moment! Photograph taken in Albuquerque, New Mexico USA 2007, with Olympus E-500.

A quieter moment, no distractions, but the intent to capture special moments, I’ve found some of these special moments, and at times even get into moods of what if, and how come, uncertainty, but reflection based on having been there, and a comparison of was it cause or because, each of us deals with a different view, I have for instance carried a lifetime of discovery and challenge at the forfront of enjoying the moments, I can explain why, I live !
