Show & Tell

I don't know about you, but I've always held a fascination for hot air balloons. I don't know what it is, but I love to see them. I just think there's something majestic about them, the way they float so peacefully through the air. In fact, Jason and I would love to go to New Mexico someday where they hold an annual hot air balloon show.


As I left this morning to take Ella to preschool, there was a hot air balloon about a half mile from our house heading towards our neighborhood. When I returned home, it was just about a block away from our house and hovering very near to the rooftops. I ran to get my camera and took these shots from my backyard. I know I took quite a few, but indulge me here. It was literally so close I could hear everytime they fired it up to raise it higher. In fact, our dog was going balistic at the strange object so near to our house.
