Up, Up and Away

lol Maximus…I don’t think I could have even asked for a ride…I think I was just walking around with my mouth open…couldn’t say a word, and looked like the village idiot I expect..lol… Thanks so much! :)

Cheers Mar :) But you got other incredible shots, which I am dying to see! I’m still on a high from it…and Kevin didn’t get the message that I was going to be late!!! lol

Thanks Mark! :) The sky wasn’t as vivid blue as yesterday and so I took your advice and bought a circular polarizing filter yesterday afternoon for this morning’s sky :)

Thanks so much Nic….I will almost forgive you for rejecting my polar bear balloon photo from the bears group…heehee! And don’t worry, I give as good as I get when it comes to Miss MMLM. :)

thanks so much Rhonda :) It was definitely worth it… and I had a long nap this afternoon to make up for it :) :)

so glad you like it Kazz – it was such an amazing experience…I actually had tears in my eyes… then they started playing Sinatra’s “Come Fly With Me” which made me laugh so much in the middle of all of this incredible sight. :)

Stop making me laugh…I’m too tired lol!! yes, I noticed Mr B’s new pic too…

thanks so much Pete – it was so worth getting up at 3.30 this morning to see all of this! :)

thank you very much! a friend of mine and fellow RB’er Marleia Main went to the festival today – she has some awesome shots! :)

thanks so much Simon :) The sky wasn’t as vivid blue as the previous day, in fact it was very pale, but happily a polarizing filter seemed to do the trick.

I would have loved to have seen the balloon glow _ they call it Moonglow here in NY. I just love your photo of it, it looks so amazing. Thanks so much for stopping by- I appreciate it! :)

why thank you Sir B :) It was a beautiful sight yesterday. I was overwhelmed by it all

thank you Amanda :) It was an amazing and colourful morning!

thank you so much Rosina! I really appreciate it!

I would most definitely do this again – it was worth it -(and also the great breakfast in the aeroplane hangar – great hot fluffy pancakes at 5 in the morning..mm-mmm!! lol) Thanks for the comment Nathan! :)

Thank you so much Carol! No, this was taken at the Adirondack Balloon Festival in upstate NY. It was our first time…and will not be our last!!

thanks so much Mary! Some of my photos came out a little grey with the light in the sky, but a filter helped some. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting! :)

It was such an amazing morning…my first time. I still think the sky looks a bit wierd, but the sun was still coming up. Thanks so much for the nice comment! :)

thanks so much mom! :)

lol Cass…glad you joined the group – you have some great photos in there. Glad you like this one! :)

wow! Thank you so much Rock – I really appreciate you stopping by to comment! :)

it was such an amazing moment at dawn to see all these balloons suddenly just start to rise in the air. Hopefully I can go again this year. Thanks so much for the kind comment :)

hurrah!!! thank you so much for letting me know! :)
