On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.
From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.
Good Morning All,
This weekday feature is for Balloon Juicers who are on the road, travelling, etc. and wish to share notes, links, pictures, stories, etc. from their escapades. As the US mainland begins the end of the Earth day as we measure it, many of us rise to read about our friends and their transient locales.
So, please, speak up and share some of your adventures, observations, and sights as you explore, no matter where you are. By concentrating travel updates here, it’s easier for all to keep up-to-date on the adventures of our fellow Commentariat. And it makes finding some travel tips or ideas from 6 months ago so much easier to find…
Have at ’em, and have a safe day of travels!
Should you have any pictures (tasteful, relevant, etc….) you can email them to [email protected] or just use this nifty link to start an email: Start an Email to send a Picture to Post on Balloon Juice
Now with even more Raven!
Where: The Emerald Coast of Florida
My bride forgot the big camera when she brought the pups down for the
nightly illegal dog sunset fest so this was the best I could get. I’ll be
shooting pix of the rise and set for a while so I should get some gooduns.

@PaulB: Gotta tell you those last two in the gardens (the dragon fountain & the Japanese bridge) are fantastic.
PaulB
@Tenar Arha: Thank you. Butchart Gardens is simply stunning, a truly world-class facility, so great pictures abound, even for an amateur like me. The hardest part for me was figuring out which ones to send, since I took more than 10x that number.

@PaulB:
Editing is always the hardest, especially for the person who produced the raw material. I shoot all the time, and wind up with 20-30% worth editing and showing people.
