Red Balloon

This photo was taken a few months ago, and I've been meaning to blog about it for a while now and it just didn't happen until now. Oh...Oh...me... =D It was just another normal day, as I was taking a stroll in my neighborhood when I caught something "red" in my peripheral vision, and SNAP...SNAP away I went. This is just another reminder of why I love photography. How did this balloon go astray? Did it belong to a little child? Missing it's attendance at a Birthday party? Or did it have a specific use for someone's purpose? We will never know, but for me it simply brought back a poignant feeling from my childhood of birthday parties, carnivals, and even a movie, " The Red Balloon". Amazing how an accident, simplicity, and one photo can say something so huge. I love photography.
