balloons

I have so many images from the hot air balloon festival that I attended recently that I want to share.  It was such a glorious day.  We got there just after sunrise when many of the teams were already laying out their balloons and starting to fill them.

The first time I went, I imagined a roped off area where they would prepare while we watched from a distance.  Nope!  Everyone is right in the middle of everything.  It offered some great views as the balloons took off to the west toward the Rockies.

I'm offering several images as a series in my Etsy shop.  I think they look great grouped together.

   

I plan on adding more to Etsy this week.  Hot air balloon overload.  You can also see more on my flickr stream.
