Find the Story Friday!!! Lost & Found Balloons

Happy Friday, Friends!  :)  Welcome to my 1st official "Find the Story Friday"!  My plan with these (and this may evolve over time) is to post a pic of a person, place or thing that I found interesting and see if it stirs up a story in any of you as well.

Here's my pic of choice for this week:


And if this one doesn't quite inspire - here it is from a different angle:


These are my Lost Balloons.  I have to admit - I just thought they'd make kind of a cool picture at first.  But, as I got thinking about it from a story angle - I envisioned two things.

#1 - A kid's birthday party in the park.  Maybe the birthday boy/girl got their little hands on this lovely bundle of balloons - hoping it would fly them away.  Maybe he/she just wanted a bird's eye view of family and friends celebrating.  But his/her hands are a little slippery with melted icecream and the balloon bouquet gets away.  *tears*  Goodbye, balloons.

#2 - (the dark side of my brain)  A child is walking home with a balloon bouquet he/she saved all their pennies to pick up at the corner grocery store.  But, it gets lost in the struggle between child and kidnapper!  Eek! 

Just some of my thoughts... :)  What are yours?

Have a FABULOUS weekend!!  I'll be back on Sunday with a post about some great artists I know!
