52 Photos Project 8: Stripes

Stripes?? Yipes. Where to find those, where to look. Well...There were lots of striped balloons in the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta ...


Lots of stripes on this cobalt blue fish, which go nicely with the spots on his little buddy.



And there are lots of stripes on my old gardening jacket, too. So they weren't so hard to find after all.

Shadow Shots: Tribal Fire

Another shot from the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, a mysterious one in keeping with the season.

I loved the burners blazing in the night and black silhouettes casting long shadows, looking almost as if a pagan tribe had gathered round a magic fire.

That's the moon up above, and the red haze ... probably just camera flare. Or maybe a passing spirit?

It's always shadowy at HeyHarriet's. Stop by and see. You may want to bring a flashlight.

PhotoHunt: Waiting

Crews scramble to be first into the sky at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. Thousands of spellbound spectators watch and wait.
