Some of these aren't totally clear - it was early in the morning and the sun hadn't burned through the haze yet. We were at the county fairgrounds and all of a sudden dozens of balloons started rising over the hill coming toward us. It was suitably incredible.
It's fun sharing old pictures, but I am going to be happy when the gardens start blooming and I can share some current photos of flowers!! Chilly and rainy today. We need the rain, so no complaint there. (well, as long as it's nice again tomorrow!) 
If I had a hot air balloon, I would probably choose colors like the balloon on the left.
The bottom picture was taken the night before. They had musical groups performing and a few of the balloons were lit for a night glow. It was very cool.

Hey, The balloons are neat--we saw the ones in New Mexico---just happened to be driving into the area in the morning, came over a hill and there they were!!!!!!!!!! Just Beautiful...
THE TEXAS CONNECTION
I'm thinking New Mexico definitely has to be on our list of things to do. Iowa show is great but a fraction of the size of NM.
Wow. That's a lot of balloons! Lovely.
I surprised my mother with a balloon ride once in Steamboat Springs. They called our hotel early to give us the go-ahead, and I told her, "Get up! We're going riding!" So she was all mentally prepared for a horse until we got to the balloon field. It was a way cool experience.
Sounds cool - I've never been up in one. We love Steamboat Springs - can imagine that would be wonderful from the air.
Cool photos.
Neat Blog!
