I live about one mile from the park where the race begins. Occasionally, the wind will blow the balloons away from my neighborhood, but most years they float my way. They drift along, their various shapes and colors delighting children of all ages. There's always a bit of excitement when a balloon lands on a nearby street.
These pictures were taken last year. (For some reason, I didn't take any this year).

Not great quality, but this is just around the corner from my house:
There are two bees, but I could only get a picture of one:
These guys were laughing at my dog because she was barking at them:

Landing on the edge of a park:
Humpty Dumpty in the background:
A strawberry!
There is also a Jack Daniels bottle, an eagle, a stagecoach, an ark, the Energizer Bunny, and even a cow!

Thanks for making my smile brighter and assisting me in remembering another dream. Have you ever been in one?
Thanks, I'm glad to be back too!
No, I've never been in a hot air balloon. When I first started dating my husband, his mom was dating a man who owned a balloon and participated in balloon races around America. He offered to take me up in one, but we never managed to make it happen! (He then got sick and passed away.)
One of these days you must go up in one!
what beautiful baloons. what a pretty sight that must be to see all of them floating about. the strawberry one is so nice.
The strawberry is my favorite!
