H is for helium

After several hours and a six mile walk at Grove Plantation, we sat down at a picnic table for a snack before heading home. We heard a loud hum and couldn't imagine what it was disturbing the peace and quiet of this lovely rural setting.
We looked towards the sound and were very surprised to see a blimp coming!!
It was brand new and so white. It was being delivered--it's first flight we found out later.
I passed right over head, not real high, so it was quite thrilling to see--it looked very big. Note the flag flying of the back.








And then it was gone and the only sounds were the birds again.
