Saturday Snapshot- Hot Air Balloon Rides

All right, so this will be the last Saturday where I'll share with you pictures of Mexico- at least for a while anyway! Hopefully, next week I'll be sharing some more trips of our family trip to Italy! I know I ended the series, but I've come across some more great pictures to share with you all!

Thanks Melinda, for hosting this every week!










Have any of you ever been up in a Hot Air Balloon? The views are fantastic! Enjoy your weekend, and thank you for stopping by!

    Ah these are so cool!!!! Although I'm scared of heights, so I'm not planning to get in a hot air balloon any time soon...

    Great post :)

      I think the fear will evaporate once you're in the balloon. It's much less scary than going rappelling or trekking up a mountain!

    Beautiful shots of balloons. What a great adventure! I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to go up in a balloon, but ... maybe. Looks like the views would be fantastic.

      The views certainly were fantastic! If you're going up with family or friends, there's nothing to worry about- they'll keep your mind from wandering into despair!

      Thanks for stopping by Sandra!

      I was a little kid when we went up in the balloons- not even ten years old! I was extremely scared,naturally, but I think the views made up for it and I relaxed a bit once we were actually up in the sky!

    So cool! I've never had the chance, I think I'd want to, but not sure.

      Yes- it can be a daunting idea, but I'm sure you'll love it if you ever get the chance to ride in one!

    These are awesome shots. I've never been in a hot air balloon, but I think it would be a really interesting (if not slightly terrifying) experience. Have a lovely weekend!

    Hot air balloons are so awesome! I have yet to actually ride in one (I'm a bit wary of that!), but I love to see them in the sky.

      I'd actually never seen them in the sky before riding in one! I don't think I've seen one after that time either!

      Thanks for hosting and stopping by Melinda!

      Thanks so much Carol- My father took most of these pictures, I'm not that good of a photographer!

    Ooh awesome pics!! We went to a hot air balloon festival the other weekend too, and it was fun! They're so fun to watch as they float across the sky.

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

I cannot remember my mother by Rabindranath Tagore

 The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance.  I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place.
