Mickey Balloons – Sean Spansel
I don’t care how many times I visit Disney properties, I am always drawn to the Mickey Mouse shaped balloons that take residence on Main St. Even better than the hundreds of balloons carried by a cast member in the parks, are the “abandoned” balloons you find at random areas in the park (majority tied to strollers). While walking through fantasyland, I ran across these two buddies hanging in the stroller parking behind the Carousel. It was January, cold, windy…so you can imagine the attempts it took to get a shot with one of them facing me. In a perfect world, I would have both, but sometimes (ok, most of the time) you have to take what you can get. These guys, along with the background bokeh of the Carousel, creates a great image. I’m glad I got a chance to meet these abandoned buddies 🙂
