Because my husband & I often leave very early in the morning…
We see different things…
On this lovely morning,
we saw many hot-air balloons in the sky…
some were just taking off
while others were already way up high.
I think it would be so much fun to take a ride on one!
These photos were taken with my phone
as I frantically moved around from one car window to the next
trying to get at least one of the balloons hovering above us…
(No, I wasn’t driving the car) 🙂
We’ve seen them before… maybe next time I’ll be able to show you
a group of them up in the sky…
It’s a beautiful sight.

I love to watch the balloons but I would be terrified to go up in one.

The are so colorful and look beautiful as they’re all taking off!
Not your average morning commute – awesome shots!
I think Eko would enjoy the ride in one of them!
What a lovely way to start your day! A very uplifting post. 🙂
It’s fun to see them… no matter how many times I’ve seen them, they’re always a nice surprise!
I’d like to ride in one as well, but I’m not sure about landing… They seem so uncontrollable! But what a lovely sight in the morning!
Yes, the landing is kind of unpredictable at times, but that’s what I think when I’m on a plane, praying for the pilot as he lands the airplane with all of us in it… haha
Yes. I’m not a comfortable plane passenger either. I almost always choose another mode of travel if I can.
But my daughter is in CA. and we’re definitely flying when we visit her this fall. 🙂
It IS a beautiful sight! One of these days, I hope to take a ride in one of those big balloons! 🙂 What a great way to start your morning, although I have a feeling it’s pretty early!
It IS early… but once I’m up… I enjoy watching the world coming awake, especially the sun rising as I look through my car window, trying to capture horses & cows having their breakfast. 🙂
Thank you for sharing the balloons with us! My daughter and I were just talking about how we hadn’t seen any so far this year! We just weren’t on the right road! 🙂
Haha! Every time I see them, I think to myself… I have to look it up online–when they’re scheduled to go up next so that I can go and take some nice photos. I think it’s probably too expensive for me (I’m such a tightwad, or frugal if you want to make it sound better) to go on a ride.
Wow! This must’ve been exciting to see! I think I’ll stay on the ground, though . . . .
It’s funny how there were times when I just loved going on the rides at the local County Fair… now… I’d rather just stand by and watch the kids as they whirl, zoom, flip, and scream… and I wonder… how did I ever do that?! and I have no desire to do it again!
Good job Daisy!! I think it’s so hard to take pics from the car– I’ve got lots of blurry car photos of passing landscapes!
