Early Morning at Balloon Fiesta



Yea!!  The balloons were given the green flag, and let the inflation begin!  Here are some sights from the field where the balloons were inflating and taking off….
 
At the beginning of each day, the Star Spangled Banner is sung and the first balloon up carries the American flag.  Lovely morning sight…..
 
It was a very cool sight to see the American flag balloon flying into what looked like the sun!  Doesn’t this image give you a sense of the freedom that the balloonist must feel as he/she floats above the fray?
 
One of the great things about this hot air balloon gathering is that the general public gets to be down on the field next to the inflating balloons.  As I looked around at all the balloons that were beginning to inflate, I noticed this little girl meeting what I’m guessing is her first hot air balloon, up close and personal!  Only one of many fun moments at the Fiesta!

Enjoy!
