Arienne Loves...TiLT #2

Seeing this picture reminded me of my childhood obsession of drawing pictures of hot air balloons. I don't know why I was so intrigued by them. Maybe the pretty colours next to the blue sky? In my more adult years I feel they are still a stunning sight, like when there are lots of kites in the sky at the same time. And then getting a little more psychological they represent freedom and high hopes.

Okay, enough waxing philosophical (is that even a phrase or did I totally screw that up?!), I've not yet been up in a hot air balloon. It is on my 101 Things to Do List, so I'm certain that it will happen in the near future. And in a circular manner, the reason I'm talking about hot air balloons is because they're something I'm loving today.

Okay, well, this post is really about Thing I Love Thursday list (instead of harping on about one thing) so focus... (focus Arienne!).
