Ballooning this morning was beautiful! Gently weird breezes to the south and west. Launching and drifting and then going up a bit and catching a nice East wind.... which calmed out over a few other balloons ..oh well... So up farther and more southwest..
Crow or BATMAN!
Up and doun and all around we went. Caught a bit of the stream but it was only there for moments at a time. Landed in a field and swapped out peoples. Popped back up and tried again to get some east.... no joy... but did start doing these very large circles... I think we were doing that all the time but it was only when I was watching it that I could see it....we would do this nice clockwise curve and then stop. Curving again as soon as it was above five feet. Ended up kissing Enchanted Diamonds until we landed and stood there. diamonds let us lay out on their tarp so it was all good there. Lots of people came over to chat and we did chat. Everything from the cost of a balloon to how much the envelope weighs... Thye even helped up put things away. I like that....as my back is still sucking it hard.
We went up the ski lift after all the fun was over... we were almost the last people to leave the field. We got on the damn thing.. fast as all get out... Voom! I feel much safer in my basket than I did on that thing.... It was a long catapult! No.. it was fun. The boys got out at the top and played some disc golf while we followed along for a bit.. then went and sat out side the club house and watched a huge crow fly around us. Tried to get some pictures of it but it was a fast bugger. I got a few.
Three of many great shots today....
More to come.
