Bursting with balloons

I hope you're not sick of my balloon festival shots yet--because here's a bunch of them.

Pat, you had mentioned that at the festival you went to, the balloons do a 'splashdown' on the water. They try to do that here, too. Here's a couple of shots of some doing that. And check out that bird at the top of this shot.




Same shot as above but I messed with the sky in PS:

Couldn't have asked for a better configuration for the composition of this one:

Great shots. I love the ones over the water wow. In my defense I was no where near Maine or Fl or that matter. Other wise you may could have been wiped off the map.

These are SO COOL! I love that panda balloon in the first shot! And the Remax balloon cracks me up, it reminds me of that commercial where the realtor goes flying all around in the balloon selling houses, LOL! The sunflare one is my fave- both ways it ROCKS! I am LOVING this photo overload tonight! :)

Wow! And I especially like the first sunset one, with the great sunflare.

You got some awesome shots! My favorites are the one with the reflection (I think it is 2nd) and then the ones with the sun flare! That panda balloon is so cute, my girls would especially like that one. :)
