Quick post today!

Back in early March I attended the Preakness Balloon Festival on a chilly and crisp morning. This shot was taken during the festivities as the crowd began to swell. One of the things that stood out for me was the excitement on the faces of children in attendance. There is something about bright & wonderful colors that has an uplifting effect.
