Hello Swimmom and a warm welcome to DPS. What a great way to start, Love the colours of the balloon. Isn't it good when this happens and you have your camera at the ready. Well done and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Jake.

Thanks again everyone! There were several balloons that floated by that day. All on the other side of our treeline, but still no more than 200 yards away. You could clearly hear them talking along with the air blowing up into the balloon. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to snap several neat shots!

Great shot ~ i love the colors.

Knowing my luck ~ I would have been in my robe and hair wrap when I looked out the door LMAO Don't they do hot air balloons really early in the morning?

LOL! Usually launches are early in the morning, but this was later, they all were floating by.
