Great photos.<br /><br />Btw, years ago you and I had the same camera, by accident, and since then I have changed cameras each time you have. Thanks for all the research you've saved me, I've really liked each camera you've chosen! :)BettyAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515411225404016249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-41254287128913488412015-04-30T13:17:44.571+02:002015-04-30T13:17:44.571+02:00That really is an incredible shot of the balloon, ...That really is an incredible shot of the balloon, so close.

The professionals have to do the work when they can, according to the weather. For example, sometimes there are people operating harvesters out in the vineyard until past midnight, or very early in the morning. They have to make a living. Besides, the balloons don't make much noise — the dogs do. I guess we should keep our dogs indoors until the balloon passes over.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-61406887837241651952015-04-30T09:40:57.403+02:002015-04-30T09:40:57.403+02:007.30am on a Sunday is a bit antisocial.
