They have a balloon festival not too far from us every year. Can you believe I’ve never been? Maybe this year I’ll go (not up in a balloon, however, I prefer to watch with both feet planted firmly on the ground – LOL).
Last October we were at the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque: great fun! But I’m so far behind with posting about our travels [only got to day 15, i.e May 30] of our RailTrailsRoadTrip [https://wp.me/p4uPk8-1F2], which means writing about Albuquerque is still a long way off.
One of my sis’s lived down there-wish I’d gone to see the festival while she was there. From her photos, it’s pretty amazing watching them all go up in the early morning sunrise. Looking forward to seeing your post on ABQ-a neat town.
I always remember the epic ballonride for my old aunts 80th birthday . it collided with a tree and the basket tilted. the aunt landed on the ground and while we all tried not to laugh she yelled at us: clever idea, but not now, heritage vultures !
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous day, my friend. ♥
Thank you-sorry I’m behind-was out of town yesterday. Catching up today. Have a super rest of the weeke.
Definitely lovely to see, but earthbound I prefer to stay. 🙂

I love watching them with both feet heavily planted on the earth too. 😊
Oh, how funs!!!! When do we go up??!! and, can I bring my margarita???
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
LOL, I prefer the earth under my feet, but especially when drinking margaritas!
We have a fabulous festival every year in a nearby town. They floated over my father’s place. Magical!
That’s a perfect description-magical. 🎈🎈
🙂
Sometimes I get it right 😉
Hot Aired Balloons are so cool.
Not to be negative, but this post is full of hot air…
Bwahaha! FINALLY…someone got it! Well done.
Pawsome! We have them flying over our house every Summer. So Cool😎Extra Pawkiss🐾😚😻
Beautiful!!! We see those giant balloons fly over our yard – sometimes they are low enough that the people on board call out to us!!!
Woos – Lightning, Misty, and Timber
Wow, that’d be very cool to witness!
Beautiful colors against that blue, blue sky!!
A lovely shot. Though I am a bit afraid of heights so enjoy watching balloons from the ground.
I like watching them from the ground too. Safer 😆
I would love to see these launch in person. I’ve only seen pictures. Beautiful.
Have a fabulous day. ♥
They’re so beautiful and colorful against a clear blue sky.

I’m with you. The idea of actually being up, up and away is terrifying!
Definitely on my bucket list as soon as I find someone I trust with my life. 🙂

3 bum swings! 3 more!💜
Thanks!
They’re all over here also. They interfere with the Avian Traffic Control System.
They’re so beautiful but the crowds they draw I can do without.
ooooooooooooh, what fun and the balloon is so beautiful!
And the views must be amazing!
Awesome!
Wouldn’t that be a great way to start the day?
Sure would!

Awk! That’s no way to celebrate a birthday. I love watching them but think I might have your aunt’s luck riding in one.
I can almost hear the propane jets. Lovely, Monika
They truly are amazing in the early morning hours when they rise in groups. So fascinating to watch.
True
I used to watch them in Sonoma CA.
