Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world’s a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
The Fifth Dimension
Ballooning over the Serengeti Plain in the early morning light is an experience of a lifetime.
Gliding silently, watching the wildlife watch us.
Enjoying treetop views.

23 Jan 2013i was telling someone a few days ago that i’d love to see the nazca lines/peru via a balloon. this looks equally tempting! i loved the bird’s eye view of the bird in the treetop, andi loved he shadows in the final image!
tis raining cats and dogs and goats this week! i’m shocked that the power and cyber are still working! i’m catching up on WP while i can!

27 Jan 2013We were much more impressed with seeing the bird at her level than she was with seeing us!
You said today that the rain had stopped. Rainy season ending or just pausing?

27 Jan 2013rainy season is just starting, and it’s been a brisk start. we had another inch and one half last night, and it’s drizzling again now. earlier we had 3 inches one day, and probably three the day before that. the rainy season will last thru march, and if an el nino eases in, that rainy season will continue for another month or so – so i have been told. i’ve yet to experience an el nino year.

16 Feb 2013Having ridden in a balloon in France’s Loire Valley, I can attest that it is an extraordinary experience! I love your dramatic closing shot in particular. Was this your first hot air balloon ride?

15 Jun 2014That’s a good looking hippo. If you haven’t won some awards for these, something is wrong with the world.

25 Jun 2014Now that’s the way to see it. I especially loved the bird atop the tree going about his business. Thanks for sharing:)
