Photographed at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta....if you've never been, we highly recommend it. We attended the opening day festivities; up at 3 a.m., first in line for the bus at the park & ride, and at the park before any of the balloons were even inflated. The Dawn Patrol was incredible; watching about a dozen or so balloons glowing and then launching to test out the winds, but what was even more incredible was watching the mass ascension that started at 7 a.m. We were like kids in a candy shop as over 500 hot air balloons were launched over a two hour period.
Have a great Friday...and as always, thanks for visiting & commenting!!!!
