You really get that sense of 'big' with people around, they're such fun shots Betty...(although I miss the kittens, give them a hug for me)

Elephant is still lying on his back..... It takes a lot of air to get him up ....... Nice capture and comparison of size

I like the pudgy look and feel of these balloons. Reminds me of the need to diet.

Usually hot air balloons look graceful and light. Your series of photos presents another side of them--when they are cumbersome. I like this twist on them.

Looks like a lot of hard work to get them ready to soar. Can't wait to see them in the air.

It reminds me of a struggle with a giant duvet cover that I had. Good aspect Betty.
