I was thinking of what to share for this week's Photo Hunt. It has to be flexible. I thought of rubber bands, my daughter's ballet shoes...I thought of posting spaghetti noodles. My husband recommended his map light in his car, it has a flexible body. Hmm, it doesn't sound interesting to me, haha.
I settled to our hot air balloon pictures no matter how much my hubby talked me out of it. He said these balloons expand but they are not flexible. :D It used to be that it's only me and my daughter decide what pictures to share. Now it has become a family affair. :D
These pictures were taken at the 11th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta early this year, held at Clark, Pampanga. Suddenly a song enters my mind as I post about this..."up, up and away, in my beautiful, beautiful balloon...". Was this from the Bridgette Jones's Diary soundtrack? Anyway, there's another balloon song when I was in college, 99 Luftballoons by Nena. I love this song back then.
One has to get out of his comfort zone and be flexible and try more adventurous undertakings like riding a hot air balloon. Now that strengthens these hot air balloons' connection with Flexible. :)
Check out other Photo Hunt Flexible participants here. I'll be going around PH participants later, Mommy duties beckon at this time. :)

Wow, that looks like so much fun! Great photos and have a good weekend.
Ang ganda naman ng balloons! And your storyline on being adventurous enough to take a balloon ride justifies the photos for the theme. ;)
Oh yes, a few minutes ago , i was just listening to that song by Nena. We both love 80s music, no?
Happy weekend!
wow, you made a wonderful choice--those are awesome shots!
Looks like fun...but I'm so scared of those things.
Great choice for the theme.
I've always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon! SOmeday..:) Beautiful photos too!

LE LAQUET, That's great. I bet it's exciting! But I'll pass. :)
NATALIE, At least you tried it already.
MHARIA, Welcome! :)
ECL, I think you can ride one. You seem to be very adventurous.
AMAZING GRACIE, Skydive??? Lol. I'll pass that one up too.
WILSON, You got so many sites. :) But I dropped by already. :)
Great idea. The baloon has to be flexible but you do too! Some landings are pleasantly plopped.
Take care,
Connie
Wonderful photos of the hot air balloons. So colourful. :) Flying in one must be an incredible experience.
I'm naturally flexible this week.
I agree with you: everything that expands must be flexible too. great shots!
Hi Lynn! Ang ganda, very colorful... Happy weekend :)
wonderful! hot air balloons - I wish I could ride on one of those!
Up, up, and away - it must be lots of fun to ride in a hot air balloon. Great shots.
Moe & Mindy
The balloon coun't expand if it weren't flexible, so you're absolutely right. Beautiful pictures. The song was 99 red balloons here:) I loved it too.
Well, whether the balloons are flexible or not, the photos are certainly fabulous!
Happy Weekend.
Great choice for the theme! I am afraid of heights though so I could never ride in them :( Thanks so much for dropping by and have a terrific weekend :)
Very neat, I love hot air balloons!
What a wonderful event that must be! Great shots!
What great balloons and I'm sure they are flexible! Happy hunting...
oh so lovely, and my favorite thing to see!
this is a great idea for the theme.it looks like fun too..happy HUNT!
I tend to think that photo hunt is always about our creative interpretation of the theme--not whether the balloons the are expandable or flexible!
Nice photos and good take!
Lynn, beautiful shots! Yes and we have to be flexible in our lives and get out there and do things! :)
Thanks for visiting my blog!
These are beautiful!! Thanks for your visit! Have a great weekend. Now I have that song in my mind!!! Grams
Great choice for this week's theme! I love seeing hot air balloons; they are so colorful! Have a wonderful weekend!
I have to laugh, our photo hunt has become a family affair also! lol...I love the photos of the hot air balloons! The couple of rides I had in them, thrilled me! Thanks for visiting my hunt today
I can see that the fabric of balloons would have to be flexible to be able to be folded up and stored when the air is out of it, too. Great choice for today!
I agree with you. Flexible has many meanings, so your shots work perfectly.
Ballons are a ton of fun, too.
Wonderful photos and they are flexible if we all say so and we do.
Have a great weekend
Great photos! I don't think I am brave enough to ride in a hot air balloon.
You have to be a pretty flexible person to have the courage to take a balloon ride, LOL. Thanks for the visit, and have a great weekend!
