Up, up and away....


This was the view from my kitchen window this morning....


... I love the idea of hot air balloons and one day I would love to go for a ride in one over the gorgeous Yarra Valley but for today, I am glad that I am flying to Byron Bay in a plane instead.

However, seeing the balloons made me think of a few songs, do you remember these?


 Up, up and away by the 5th Dimension



... and 99 luftballoons by Nena



but, of course, I am leaving on a jet plane, so here is the incomparable John Denver ....


Have a great day everyone, 

hugs,

Oh, what a pretty sight, Kaye! Not sure that I would want to go up in one as I'm afraid of heights...

Those old songs certainly brought back memories :)

Thanks for sharing that beautiful sight. My DH and I actually had a trip in one. I hope you get to do that, it is a truly wonderful experience!

Love seeing all those balloons! Hope you have a wonderful trip! (I used to love John Denver, big time!)

So many gallons are a wonderful sight indeed. But for nothing in the world would I enter such a huge basket hanging underneath a huge ballon, lol.
Wishing you a great flight!

I love to see hot air balloons, but not likely to ever go up in one. : ) And I do remember those songs. Enjoy your trip!

Bea said...

That's an impressive sight! I'd love to ride in one as well, in spite of the fact that I'm not crazy about heights.

One day.... it must be a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours! Enjoy your trip to Byron! If you get a chance try and go to the Crystal Castle - it is amazing :o)
Hugs xx

I have never been up in a balloon. I should put that on a list of things to do.
Glad to see I'm not the only Nena fan, I used to love that song.
