The hot air balloons have arrived for the Mancos Mesa Verde Balloon and Arts Festival. It was so great to stop by their sign up spot and see old faces and meet some new. The weekend actually starts tomorrow morning with lift offs at 7:15 AM- Early but so worth the early rising! Friday through Sunday afternoon is packed with balloons" flying" and "glowing" and many other events and small town fun. For photographers it doesn't get much better than than colorful hot air balloons hovering over this beautiful valley. There was a sprinkling of snow decorating the mountain tops so that may be mother natures special gift to add to our 2010 Balloon Festival photos! I am off and running to catch the pilots dinner and BBQ. The local editor is on vacation this weekend and asked if we could furnish our photos for next weeks paper. What a treat all of this is for an oldie like me! I caught the balloonmeister taking a test run earlier in the week that I will share with you. sf

Did either one of ya ever get to the balloon festival when they had it at Battle Creek? It was spectacular, but I think the location THIS festival is in has to be a photographer's dream!! The mountains in the background...what more could ya want?! Hope all is well! Can't wait to see more shots!
