I went up to Howell to see the hot air balloons - here is a small photo album:
The object is to hit a "bulls
eye" with a beanbag rag ... |
... this is a miss ... |
.. and they are off ... |
... ok, break it up, people ... |
[Take a look at the picture below,
and then look at the picture to the right.]
In the image to the right .. look in the bottom left corner (you
might want to right-click to view the image to get the bigger version)
.. yup, that's me!!! [Their picture was taken a little
after mine, as can be seen by the fact the balloons have cleared the
trees already.] |
This is an official
MICHIGAN CHALLENGE
photograph! |
... one near and one far ... |
... one far (it's yellow and above
the middle on the left) and many near ... |
... you can see them close up .. |
.. and you can see them far away
... |
.. sometimes they spread far apart
.. |
.. and sometimes they stay close
.. |
... wait, watch out for that
tree!!!!  |
..... whew!!! |
| My niece, Sarah, would recognize this handsome fellow ... |  |
Then some skydivers came out of the sky and tried to ruin it for everyone!
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
and as the light fades
...  |
..
the moon comes along to join the fun. |
