I love balloons. No matter where I see them, they conjure up images of a bygone era where balloon sellers roamed the streets, traveling carnivals were plentiful and life was good. Of course that’s probably only true in the movies. I imagine life was pretty awful back then and a simple balloon was probably the highlight of a child’s year. In any case these pictures made me smile. Hope they have the same effect on you.
