Touch and go

This is a picture of the actual touching of the water and the reflection of the balloon - so the blue is the water and the darker yellow in the middle is the reflection.  It's fun to watch, some balloon pilots have varying degrees of difficultly accomplishing this maneuver.

Tuba Reflections original

Reflections in the tuba bell look quite different than the mandala, especially with the green grass instead of the gray background presented above. 

Tuba Reflections

Love the shiny bell of the tuba - you can tell when the end of the marching band is coming.  We were standing at the back of the band on a green field of pipers and military band members, the blue sky, surrounding tents and band members visible in the bell of the tuba.
