Lisa,
We have a local balloon festival over Labor Day. I've been there but way to afraid of heights to go up in one.
Final caught a Swallowtail in my butterfly bushes. Cell phone shots only so hard to get really good pics.

I am recovering from the new shingles vaccine so haven't done much. You all are sharing my FAVORITE things. Scottie, love the butterfly. It is my favorite of the native species here. I absolutely LOVE hot air balloons and was pretty obsessed with them in my earlier days. I did take a hot air balloon trip and it was awesome. It was a package deal of balloon trip and dinner afterwards to share pics. This was in the days I was not really into photography and I accidentally deleted most of my balloon pics because I thought I had saved them to my computer which was three hours away. After I had deleted most of them I got this sick feeling that I didn't remember saving a file called Balloon Ride. Well I did lose most of my pics but I do have one that is kind of neat. Will share that. This was taken while on the balloon ride and it is a reflection when we passed over a body of water. I have no idea what the white is.

Our neighboring town has a balloon festival every July 4. Here are some pics from quite a few years ago.

Lisa, that is a good photo! It's very hard to photograph through glass, so you did well.

Nice pictures! I would love to see one of those balloon displays in person, so breathtakingly colorful!
I took these two photos of some baby cardinals that were hatched hidden in my gazebo awning while I was recuperating after my Bmx.
I couldnt see them from where I was on the ground,so i just held my phone up and snapped these, I love them ! It was a great diversion to watch these little guys grow up.

Ooooooh, I just discovered this wonderful thread for the first time.
I love photography though I don't take as photos as when I was younger (just turned 75 and can't get around like I used to). Anyway, below is one of my favorite people shots:
I had a lifetime dream to go to Paris. Never got there until 2006 when I visited a friend in Ireland (I'm from the US). She told me that it cost only $50 to fly from Ireland to France. Booked a plane as soon as we could! During the three day trip I was like a child in a candy shop.
I got to spend only a couple of hours in the Louvre. I visited every place (too) quickly to see as much as I could in a few hours. My eye caught an artist sketching. I snapped it quickly so as not to disturb her. Taken with a Canon PowerShot S2 IS.

viewfinder, that's a great photo of the artist. The statues remind me of the ones in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice.

Haven't had time for picture taking for a while but enjoying seeing everyones pics. I made a whirlwind trip to my Mom's to turn in my VA application for her..........now the wait to see if it is denied which I was told seems to be par for the course now in our region. Once I am feeling better I hope to get some camera time in before my next longer visit downstate. The heat wave has past so I hope this week to get some pics.

Wren, thanks for asking how I'm doing. I miss my twin sister's daily emails and the future seems more scary without her. I remember some good times with her, I guess. I have a cold at the moment but I'm starting to feel better. How are you doing?

I'm doing ok. I had a memory test today (at DS's request) and passed. Normal for my age. Good to know. I didn't think I had a problem but DH has severe problems and I might have been comparing myself to him.

Wren, I'm glad that you're doing okay. It's good that you passed the memory test but I'm sorry your DH has severe problems. That must be very difficult.
