Hot air Balloon festival Labor day weekend



Hi Guys!!
I figure this way you don't have to get emails from me constantly!! Just check in on the website once in a while and I can leave pictures and descriptions of my adventures!!!

Wow!! I need a thesaurus to find some new adjectives!! Everything out here is gorgeous! I went for a bike ride Sat AM and took about 350 pictures! (in 2 hrs) Ok, Andy and Janine! Beat that one!! I think I just made president of photographers anonymous!! Just try to argue that one!! : )

I thought the pictures of the mountains with the clouds and the lake were gorgeous...then I took a few more of the balloon festival with the mountains in the background...oh and the reflections in the lake.... I got up early for this one!! and it was sooo worth it!




Amazing!! and only 2 miles from my house!!



I had planned to go to the festival by bike but didn't think I would take that many pictures!! How could I not when everyone was this good?!! email me if you want the snapfish site with more pics!!! They are all amazing!!


Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!

Someone please turn off the power plant cooling tower!! It was 7 am on a Saturday. People were either at the balloon festival or in bed!! Who really needed power? I mean come on?? : )








Can anyone tell which way is up?






Touchdown on the lake.


What are you doing Labor day next year?!! I will be coming out here!! Come join me!!
