These are just so beautiful.  I haven't been to a balloon festival since I was a kid.  Memory lane here!   How many balloons did they have there?

You've got some really cool shots there Gary. It couldn't be a balloon festival without a chicken balloon!

Interesting! I was just thinking the other day about wanting to shoot balloon.  I have thought about going up to Tiger Mnt. and shooting the hang gliders, but I don't know if they will let me up there.

Wonderful shots Gary. I really like the third one.

Usually between 700 - 800. If you're going to attend the festival in the USA, this is the one to go to.

It's been years since I've been been to a balloon festival.  IMO it doesn't get much better for amazing photo opportunities.  Well done here

Dunno how I overlooked this 2 months ago when it was posted.  But I like the first 2 a lot, nice job.
