Up, up and away

On my way out to the training this morning I spied the perfect photo opportunity. In fields outside Guildford several people were hanging on to a hot air balloon as it was inflated. The basket and its crew waiting for the off on a clear sunny morning. Sadly the traffic wasn't playing ball and I had to carry on past. Heading home 12 hours later I spied the same balloon over Reading, again there was no where to stop. But as I parked up at home what should drift overhead once more. The sky was brilliant blue, the balloon fantastic red. Its the sort of photograph that should be stuck on a birthday card!
