  1. I think your expression looks like you have just witnessed something alarming. The balloons look like they were made into an animal shape (maybe that scare you a bit).

    1. I'm squinting in the sunlight! This was taken in my grandparents' backyard -- never remember being scared there, though!

    1. I'm thinking that EVERYTHING ties us to Paris these days; it is our only hope!

  6. That expression on your face! Balloons can create static electricity. Perhaps you were zinged with an electric shock just as the photo was taken?

    1. I was probably annoyed that everybody was making such a fuss; never liked the limelight -- not then, not now!

  7. A very appropriate photo. The coincidence of our balloon theme with the terrible events in Paris is more that a little unsettling. We are all Parisians this weekend.
