500 and still bouncing along

I wasn't really sure what to do for 500, it's kind of snuck up on me a bit.
So as the weather was rubbish and I still have some red balloons left I thought the best idea was to look like a fool have a play around.
The idea was to make the balloon look a bit like a space hopper as it is, it just looks ridiculously fake that was the idea anyway.

Wow, 500! And despite the days when I have little motivation, imagination, or inclination I've still managed to blip every day and even the worst attempts that haven't worked -The Milka cow effort?- have garnered views and polite comments. It's been great to look back and remember what I've done too. So thank you everyone for being so kind...and here's to the next......
