Early this morning I thought the trash man was making a lot of noise. however, it seemed to be coming from the roof. Being of quick wit I knew that he did not drive on the roof and it was a little early for Santa. So I grabbed the camera with trusty 44-2 and Zenitar to investigate.
Just clearing the roof,good thing they move slow and bounce.
I used the Zenitar for all the other photos.

They just missed the roof then landed in the front. It's not unsusal for balloons to land here. We do not have overhead power lines. All are under ground. However, this was much closer than most.
Wonder if I can get balloon insurance for the roof?
