some balloons count cars and become signposts

2014 05 15 balloons up fall caught up jpg sig.jpg sigPress twice see the punctures.
A beautiful morning again. No clouds, clear sun. Just the big morning flighty kisses up there from the planes. Yesterday (Wednesday) went to a street market to take photos of balloons.. I guess some of the balloons that were there are gone today.But not the two I saw as I got off the bus. Flying no more.  As for this bunch (of five) sitting in a high tree; they have  landed in a really high place, and will stay there  till the last, unnoticed, counting cars, because everyone seems to look down at this point.Yeah! that’s 30 early planes at least I must have seen heading to Heathrow this morning(Thursday) making little crosses, way way up there. Can’t ever hear’em but  they  seem to be following my road, looking for the  place to land….. which they will…due east!

when purple leaves pick up an orange light
and pink flowers at the edge turn into stars

…….whilst waiting for sun hiding in the hedge.
Not a good start really. It was too early, and camera battery soon died anyway.
Returned for other camera, then caught geese sounds and the quarter bell ( that was a first).
Counted 30 high up planes to Heathrow.Trails awesome.Wide sky.
It was far too cold out there. Sun, purple to soft pale pink but I froze. Was back by 6.
Took about an hour or two to thaw. Delighted with some of the shots… but here’s the pigeon!
