All things ballooning

From Saturday morning.

Last year it was cold. This year it was FREEZING cold! Actual frost on the ground. Then, the fog rolled in. End of story. I managed to take photos, but didn't get around to say hello to the pilots I know.

See photos on Flickr (same profile name).

Aw, Harry, that's very sweet of you. I saw your balloon and remembered I was supposed to be sure and say hello. Though I've been to many a chilly early morning launch, it was just was TOO cold to stay outside for long. It was better once more balloons were up, blocking the wind, and adding their BTUs to the air! Next season for sure...perhaps Stowe?

Thanks so much, Mark! And thanks for giving photo credit when posting on your page. I promise this "mystery woman" (lol!) will try harder to meet more pilots next season!

Your videos are great! Not to mention your still photos. One in particular of Rick and I at Quechee is awesome. I'll post it on my page. Hope we get to meet someday. (I'm bringing Pandy to Glens Falls in 2010.)

Thanks, Michelle!

I didn't get to say hello to anyone! I took one shot when inflations first started and was so cold I went back to my car. After things got underway, I shot what I could before my hands were too numb, lol. Also the canal system at the airport makes it a challenge to get around the field and see everyone though it is not impossible.

I did stop by Pinwheel's chase vehicle in hope of seeing you, but you were not with it. Until next season! Enjoy Fiesta if you guys are going. I'll be watching online...
