over the weekend i was sitting at my desk doing some work when i heard a very familiar sound from my childhood...the sound of loud, rushing hot air at very close intervals.
i looked outside and couldn't believe it...a hot air balloon was literally RIGHT outside my window! i waved to the people [not that they would ever see me inside my room] but more out of habit from when i was little.
back when we were kids and heard or saw a hot air balloon, we'd all rush outside to look in awe at the colorful facade, wondering who the people were and where they were heading [and if they were going to make it over our tall neighborhood trees!]. once a balloon landed in our neighborhood, another time the people came so low that they threw candy to us. so i quickly grabbed my camera to capture the mosaic-patterned nostalgia of my childhood memories.
it must be some experience, to peacefully float above neighborhoods, towns, and cities. to do nothing but look down at the miniature world below and enjoy the beautiful scenery. i'll have to try it sometime...[and i will bring candy for those little kids who run outside and wave at me :)]
also, fun fact: did you know that wikipedia says that the hot air balloon was created on my birthday! no wonder i love them so much :)
