The first weekend in May is our annual Balloon Stampede. Each morning, weather permitting, hot air balloons fill the skies over our town. The flight path of the balloons comes directly over our house which is near the landing zone. Don't worry, no one fell out of the balloon, it's all in the camera angle.
Love taking photos? Visit Tara at Shutter Love Tuesdays and join the fun.

Breathtaking! I can't wait until I can capture a hot air balloon
Neat, but am soooo glad they don't come over my house. We'd have to fix fences from the horses running thru them!
That's fantastic. I'm sure you are burning up your cameras on that day...
Gorgeous shot I love hot air balloons but only from the ground.
I'm not a big fan of heights....good thing I'm not tall.

What a pretty picture.
Ohhhh! So RED! I've jumped out of a balloon five times during my career as a skydiver! It's scary but fun. Lovely picture, it makes me look forward to what you'll capture in May.
I have what I considered great pictures of hot air balloons, till i saw this! you've outdone me again! But you give me new ideas of ways to take pictures!!! I had just opened my computer to e-mail you. I wondered if you were O.K. because you haven't posted in awhile. Glad to see you're back!
I have always wanted to take photos of hot air balloons. I think it would be a fabulous photo opportunity.
What a beautiful hot air balloon, with vibrant colors!
Gorgeous hot air balloon! And great angle
We have been in those a couple of times, a great way to fly.
Love those colors! Makes me want to fly away!!
That balloon is cool looking with those vibrant colors and musical notes. Love that camera angle! You must go crazy at that time of the year with taking photos!
When we went to the Albuquerque Annual Hot Air Balloon Fiesta, it was one of best things we've EVER done - seeing 600-700 balloons in the air AT ONCE! Gorgeous!
I love the angle, and the colors! You will really follow where it leads and take a snap on them!
Btw, where were you? Haha!

Your details and colors are great. You've captured the balloon wonderfully. I love our hot air festival. I hope I am off for it!
Fantastic capture...nice to see my favourite color :) Nice angle shot.
I love hot air balloons and when we lived in St. Louis, we went to the annual balloon race that began in Forest Park (St. Louis's version of Central Park).
Amazing shot, such clarity in details.
You managed to fit the whole balloon in the frame by this angle. Wonderful work.
That must be a beautiful sight.
great colors have here!!!
beautiful picture, but you don't have to worry about ME falling out of it, because I would NOT be in it. they are fun to look UP at, but not down from.
I think a balloons would scare me, I don't do well with heights. Great photo though.
I would love it if all of those balloons flew over my house. I've only ever seen balloons like that in the distance, and only one or two.
How wonderful and exciting to have those gorgeous fly over your house. Lovely photo, Judy.
I would love to ride in one but I think I am too much of a chicken.
