Clock on photos to enlarge!
It seems I can't resist a 'balloon glow' or every combination of color I can create!
This is when the balloon was inflated and then the heat lifted it to an upright position...it's amazing to watch the process go from packed in the back of a van to ready for launch!
Although, these balloons were tethered to the ground for the night-time 'glow' event.
This is just a sample of the 'gazillion' photos I took this past Friday night, June 3, 2011.

Those are wonderful Carolyn! Cheerful combinations of colors for sure -- nothing like a balloon.
These are dazzling photos, Carolyn!
COLOR DILEMMA
Yellow or red—which shall it be?
Red for you and yellow for me?
Perhaps you’d rather have yellow instead—
Which leaves me, of course, with handfuls of red!
Whichever hue you decide to choose,
I’ll take the other—no one will lose!

Great photos. I love balloon glows - we have one of the country's largest balloon events here every Labor Day, and it's fun to see and makes for excellent photo opportunities!
The beautiful colors of the hot air balloons will cover all the MEMEs you joined :) great.
I used to watch event like this during the day. I haven't seen one at night like this.
