AS the sun sets, the balloons become illuminated, you don't have to be a REMAX agent to LOVE Balloons

Every year, hot air balloons come to the Midland Fairgrounds and put out some hot hot air....

Mother Nature wanted to be mentioned for her part in making this show SPECTACULAR!

None of these balloons are mine, not even the pictures, however, my wonderful daughter-in-law gave me permission to use these for all our enjoyment!

Ever notice how something so beautiful makes you forget everything else and all you can say is "WOW" !

Are you beautiful because I love you  ...   or do I love you because you're beautiful?

Beautiful pictures, Marilyn!! :)  I remember seeing more hot-air-balloons on Saturday mornings when I was a kid.  It is a rare sight here nowadays!!

Thanks for sharing!

Nice pictures, looks like fun.  I don't know a thing about how you pilot these balloons, but it must be an adventure to ride in one.

Wow this is wonderful!  Makes me wish I was there.  We have a lot of baloons in the air in the fall and winter here in Phx and it's always a site.  Thanks Marilyn!

Awesome pictures, Marilyn. Definitely makes me want to get up early and go volunteer with a balloon festival somewhere again.
