Balloons - The Joy and Sorrow

BL discovers the joy of balloons for the first time as he steals his female handler's birthday balloon and makes a run for it.



...which leads to the sorrow of losing his first balloon as it floats gently out of reach.

  1. The second photo is a classic, a metaphor for so many things.
    You captured the moment and the feeling. Great shot, Paul.
    I'm a few decades older than BL, and I go through days when I either recall or re-experience exactly the same thing!

    Life is indeed "a box of chocolates," and occasionally also a ballon slipped wistfully out of reach.

    Sorry about the typo in the previous comment.)
