Open Thread for June 8

This fabulous photo is from Sparkler ~too~, who attended a hot air balloon festival last summer in Vermont. We love the pic, but we love her reason for sending it even more: I thought it might be a good summery thread picture, so to help you from having to post grossicles pictures of sad pugs dressed up like ladybugs, I decided to send it in. No more grossicle ladybug pugs for us!
