Unexpected beauty

Tonight, as Donné was walking outside from the bedroom to the lounge she noticed something strange in the sky. They were not stars, and they were not planes, so she called me to come quickly. I looked up and thought, "What the heck is that?" and took a closer look.

They were beautiful sky lanterns floating through the night sky. Over the next ten minutes or so a number of lanterns floated past, gently drifting away towards the horizon. We could hear the people who must have been launching them – the buzz of excitement and joy at seeing their lanterns drift away. We got to enjoy seeing them go by, an unexpected sight which made us stop and enjoy the beauty of it.
