Nice shot, Patricia. Good timing, vertical crop and colors. A few years back I went to the fall balloon fest in Natchez, Mississippi but didn't get anything this good. #24803

Thanks, Murry. One of the highlights of living in Plano is the annual balloon festival here. I love the bright colors of the balloons. Too bad, though, that a lot of them are plastered with advertising. #61411

Beautiful colors and detail Patricia! I had one of these come down in the middle of a soccer game I was coaching last fall! The guy said it was the only place he could find to land! You should have seen the looks on the kids faces! #61424

Hi Patricia! Lots of awesome color! I've never been to a balloon show...but I guess I should go! Good luck with this! #61451

Awesome shot, Patricia! The colors are amazing. #61474

Thanks, Ron, Dolores and Joy. I liked the contrast between the half-inflated balloon on the ground and the airborne one. This was fun to photograph. ... And Ron, that's pretty funny. I can just imagine the kids' reactions to that! LOL. #61501

Nice capture Patricia!

I got to go up in one of these, in what seems like a lifetime ago... An experience I'll never forget! #61509

Thank you, Damian. And how cool to have been up in one of these. That's something I have yet to experience. And the older I get, the less I'd be willing to try it, I'm afraid. :-) #61526

Very nicely shot, Patricia! Excellent composition! Sure looks like it would be a lot of fun....maybe one of these days.. #66953

Thanks, Gary. Yes, it does look like fun. But at my age, probably the only way to get me up into one of those is to make sure it flies over the Napa Valley, while I drink several glasses of wine. LOL. #67367
