    This photo had several interesting elements. There was enough water to make a decent foreground. The hot air balloon was the main subject along with the house in the midground. Finally, I was waiting for a balloon to fly in front of the Cheyenne Mountain background. The early morning light brought out the warm colors of Cheyenne Mountain.

    I find the simplic beauty in flowers! Just a simple thing that we pass by everyday (either when you are walking your dog, walking to your convenience store walking into a grocery store..etc) and we don't even know that we actually see thes flowers but just for that split second they catch your eye you smile quickly but at the same time you don't even know that happens! So I like catching that beauty and immortalizing that beauty in a picture that we can revisit for an infinite number of times!
