I waited until this morning to blog, instead of yesterday evening, because I wanted to report on the big balloon launch from Science Central. My son, who was heading up this launch project, a science experiment for the campers, asked me to take pictures from my balcony which has a perfect view of Science Central. My friend who has a steadier hand and better eye took camera pictures while I used my phone. It was quietly entertaining.
Here's a picture of the two balloons at tree level (the two white balls).
And here they are, high in the sky. After this I lost them in the clouds. I have not yet heard if the experiments or retrieval were a success, but the launch certainly was. I'm adding this to my list of fun things seen from my balcony.
PS Right after the launch I spied thirteen geese slowly gliding down the river. I don't think they were impressed by the balloon launch.
