Orange Mystery

This was the view from my window Saturday afternoon. I'm very fond of my view. Lots of varying buildings... Sunshine... Lake... Balloon....

Wait--what? Balloon? What is that doing there?

Maybe I was just seeing things...

Hm. nope. Still there. And it was still there after I went to get my camera. And it was still there after the obligatory attempt to take a photo with the lens cap.

That orange hovering entity of some sort remained floating in approximately the same area of blue sky until the next morning when I woke up and the sky was back to its favorite shade of gray. I could not, however, remain in my bed all day staring at the mystery like I wanted. Something was going to happen with that balloon, and I was going to miss it for some nonsense obligation called a job. Psh. Job.


When I came back it was gone. And now I'll never know...
