Talk about being in the right place at the right time... you definitely live in a great spot for this fantastic view of the hot-air balloons gliding overhead.
Wish I was there;) Great shot, Judy!

Oh Judy what an amazing shot...I love hot air balloons (from the ground). I have no desire at all to ride in one. I love the vibrant colors. You all have a great view from your yard. I would love to see a hot air festival some day.

Madi loves that Miss Cindi Lou names her tormentors. Madi calls this thing the evil purple cat teaser. The handle to the EPCT is in two parts for storage. Right at the end she grab it so hard she snap it a the joint. I guess you could say Madi won this round against the EPCT.

I love this perspective of looking up at the hot air balloons, Judy!

Sandra said...

we never know what we will see when we look UP. once a kite came free floating over our pool and on over the house, Max, our dog at the time saw it and I wish I had a picture of the look on his face

DJan said...

Great shots! One with the burner ON, one with the burner OFF.

Oh, gosh, these are amazing! I have quite a few hot air balloon pics to post, but they are nothing compared to these. You somehow always know the right angle and distance!!

Ratty said...

I love these pictures, especially the fist one where it shows those flames. I don't think I've ever seen a balloon from this angle.

Diane AZ said...

How unbelievably cool, you can even see the flame!

Very cool, Judy. Don't you love the sound of the gas shooting up into the balloon?
