For some time I've been collecting pictures of balloons in my inspiration folder. I don't know why. I was actually kind of surprised that they were the subject of so much photographic material. Are they symbolic? Am I missing something?

I do know that every time someone releases a balloon into the sky, it lands in the ocean and kills a whale. At least, that's what they told me in grade school.

    lol@the 'kills a whale'. I agree with you about the symbolism...not sure myself but I guess you could argue it...I do love the gorgeousness of bright coloured balloons against a dull backdrop.

    And pics 3 and 4 are divine. Love!

    p.s. thanks for the tips on shredding...I was already chickening out (and I haven't started). How long did it take you to shred a tee?

    have a great one.

    p.s. you on bloglovin? I'll check it now :)

    I adore all the balloon pictures, I'm sad that they may have killed a whale though. x

    That is so true! Balloons are everywhere...my friend just got me a necklace with a balloon on it.

    I feel like a balloon, I just ate two cupcakes.

    Wow those pictures are gorgeous!! I love them. And they totally remind me of the film, "Up" which I just saw recently. There's something so magical about a bunch of balloons drifting into the air together...
