Jan and I and Anthea walked around Lake Burley Griffin this morning, the air was fresh and the lake, graceful and serene offering rippled reflections as wisps of mist lifted with the breeze. Over-head two hot air balloons moving gracefully and purposefully across a clear sky.

From the yellow balloon, children waved to us with great enthusiasm. Invigorated, we watched for a while, then went on. The balloon for sky.
