A Whole Bunch of Hot Air!!!

This weekend was an annual balloon launch at my neighborhood park. Didn't realize it till my girl Skittles and I came upon 4 balloons setting up and preparing to launch. Yesterday was a bust cause weather moved in and fog covered the sky.

This morning, things looked more promising out my bedroom window, so I grabbed my gear and my girl and we headed out to the park. Only one balloon set up, but with no intention of launching - wind was blowing the wrong way. And, as it turned out, the sky closed up with fog yet again.

However, I did get some interesting shots. Have a look, hope you enjoy!

Families waiting, hoping to catch the lift off

Almost as soon as it was up, it was coming down!
