A quick note on the image:
I took this photo a while back during a hike. I came upon this scene and was blown away by how eery it was. This woman standing at the end of the dock, slowly letting these heart-shaped balloons go one at a time.. Watching them as they drifted away..

I quickly snapped a couple photos and left, trying not to disturb her. I do not know what was going on, or what it symbolized, but I felt like i was intruding..

Thank you for viewing..

Hi Alli!
Thank you so much. Yes, it was a really odd scene to have stumbled across. She stood there motionless.. Not sure if it was a lost love.. Child.. Something.. I felt like I was an intruder to something of importance..

I’m guessing this was not a happy thing she was doing. Too bad, but the shot is magnificent.

Have a terrific day Ryan. Big hug. :)

Very surreal, great capture. I can understand the concern over intruding, but for some reason you were meant to be there and capture that moment.

Hi Sandee, and thank you. Yes, can only imagine what was really going on. Guess we’ll never really know..

Hello Lisa! Thanks! Walking through the clearing and seeing this was a bit odd for sure.. Quickly took a couple photos and quietly left.
