Sky Lantern

Poor kids.

I’m calling this “Azaleas with Expired Sky Lantern” just to see how many people are searching for this combination on google.

I was trying to make it fly so that you'd recognize what it was.

I took about 30 of these “floaty” attempts. I kept tossing it high in the air and then running around trying to get the perfect pic before it landed.

You might not recognize the lantern at first glance but you would have definitely recognized an idiot hopping around her backyard.

I liked this one but I'm embarrassed by the condition of the grass... the HOA is working on this.

I like this one too but it's wrong to imply that it landed right next to the door. (PS, the Southerner in me would like to share that porch has been scraped so that it can be painted next weekend.)
