I left my house early this morning and went straight to the 7-11 to get gas and a coffee for my trip into town. When I finished pumping my gas, I looked up and spotted two hot air balloons on the horizon. They were rising from an open field at the end of the road in yesterday's post ... that is quite a distance from where I was standing. As you can see it was an extremely hazy morning, but I thought the effect on my photos would be kind of surreal, so I started shooting. The first photo was taken at 6:48:21 at 1/210, F5.2. I took a total of thirty-nine shots as the three balloons rose and headed east into the sun. The second shot you see here I took at 6:59:31, at 1/800, F3.2. The last shot, which is not posted, I took at 7:02:30 at 1/550, F4.0. So I stood there for a little over fourteen minutes shooting hot air balloons.
It wasn't until I started to put together this post that I noticed the UFO in the first photo. I didn't see it in the sky when I was shooting. You think I'm crazy? Some might say it's a bird or a plane, but I assure you it is neither. That only leaves Superman or a UFO. I'm opting for UFO. This isn't the first UFO I've seen.
On another note, I'd like to wish all of you beautiful mothers the happiest Mother's Day of your lifetime. That goes for all mothers, no matter what country you come from. I hope you receive the honor and respect you deserve from your family and friends on this, and every, day!
The angels ... singing unto one another,
Can find among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of "mother."
