Neat Stuff

I look forward to this each year. It only lasts for about 15 minutes, but still an awesome sight, however brief.

Balloons Over Bend is a fun event. It runs through the entire weekend with take offs beginning at 6:30am. Getting my daughter up, at that time, is an event unto itself, so we go for the Nite Glow on Saturday. Although, the Balloons here are magnificent, I wish they had displayed some of the more colorful ones.

Not only are the Balloons themselves amazing, but the rigging and efforts of the pilots are, as well.

I still don't think you could EVER get me in one. I do believe it would feel awesome to float through the air, and witness the view. It isn't the height that bothers me, but the idea of falling. Really far. Yeesh. I will stick to admiring them from the ground. Thank you very much... :P

These pictures don't really do them justice. But, perhaps you get the idea.
