Balloon Fiesta - Mass Ascension

First thing I learned from this day:  I LOVE THE BALLOON FIESTA!

Second thing I learned from this day:  I need a tripod, STAT.

But alas, until I get one, I will have kinda blurry low light shots.  It's a good thing we will be in Albuquerque for a few years.  Goal: buy a tripod at least before my last Balloon Fiesta so I can get better shots.

Here are some of my favourite shots from the morning Mass Ascension.

Cute cold baby Josef

Blair and Luc-Palook

I love this one.  Very "Albuquerque Couple".

Poor MA was soooo cold, hence the sad face in this pic.  But soon Uncle Blair wrapped him up in extra layers and they were all happy and having a blast.

I like how the people are perfectly silhouetted in between the balloon's basket bars.

I love all the colours of the Balloon Festival!

Mary and Josef

Soooo many balloons!  I heard we actually broke the record for number of balloons in the air at one time!

Awesome.

Mary, Josef  and me in front of the kissing bees.  We saw these two go up from the beginning!

It was soooo much fun having Mary and the boys join us for our very first Albuquerque Balloon Festival!  I WILL be back next year.  Who'll join me?
