Thanks, Marcus. When they have the balloon festival here, you can get right up there while they’re inflating the balloons. Now I just have to talk one of the pilots into letting me go along for the ride. 🙂
Only been up in a balloon once…..and boy was that a great experience. If you haven’t had the chance try to make it happen. Love the images great colour to welcome a weekend in.
Wow!!!!!!! Awesome job here, Maralee – top one my favorite … but I love the blue balloon in the other photo – because if it’s beautiful pattern .. you should have taken a photo of that on it own .. or maybe crop the photo. No, crop not a good idea.
Through My Lens 
I really want to take a hot air balloon tour! Beautiful pictures.
That’s on my bucket list.

Thank you, Nia. Hope you have a great weekend.
I would also like to take one. Beautiful photos.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Some day I’d like to go up in a balloon, too. I’ll just have to make that happen.
Beautiful. Is it time for the hot air balloon festival again?
Thanks, David. The balloon festival is usually at the end of July. I’ll keep you posted when it is.
Love these photos. I just saw my first one up close and personal last week. Would love to take a ride!
