Thank you for your comments, Songbird. What I find amazing about this shot is the clouds. I have never seen such interesting clouds. I think they have a particular name but it escapes me. Can anyone help?

Every year, in Colorado Springs, there is a Colorado Balloon Festival on Memorial Day. I just took these from the ground. The image you are seeing I took shortly after it took off. I got very few good shots that day for some reason, but this one was definitely a keeper. One day I plan on going up in one and taking my shots from a different perspective. But would like to take the ride in Napa, CA or upstate New York in the fall.

I'll figure out how to get up in the air somehow. We do have some friends who marshall this event every year. It's just a matter of making up my mind when to do it!

Thank you, everyone. I always find fun images at this balloon festival. We started going years ago when my son always had to get up at the crack of dawn to flip pancakes for his high school Key Club as a moneymaker at the Balloon Festival. Because everyone there is taking pictures in all directions, it is easy to be the "stealth photographer" and point your camera at just about anything and get away with it! - including cute kids!

Mary and David - not sure how I missed your wonderful comments back in March. I apologize. In February, I fell and broke my humerus in four places and was not in too good a shape around the time frame and missed this. This remains one of my favorite balloon photos. Can't wait for Labor Day weekend this year so I can go out and celebrate another Balloon Fest in Colorado Springs. Thanks, Teresa. I appreciate your comments and all your help in Phellos!
