up, up, and away

with unusual summer heat it was refreshing to take to the skies, even if it was next to a propane burner.



copiloting a hot air balloon has always been on my bucket list so last weekend i was able to check off another wish. the offer to ride along on the "clair skies" at the red rock balloon fest was a dream come true. rising up from a farmer's hayfield early in the morning with hazy skies was a bit surreal, but a third place finish out of 23 brought us back to reality. i'm ready to go again, but still found time to kayak to painted rocks last night with a slight breeze and calm water.

Hot air ballooning is taking you to the 5th Dimension--"Up, up, and away"(yes, I'm back in the 70's)

Chasing after was fun, too.
