Follow for more glimpses behind the scenes, and feel free to share with anyone who loves ballooning.

Balloon Fiesta (October), which was the first year I remember where the weather and wind cooperated with ALL events (day and night schedule). It was warmer than usual. I spent most of the nine mornings chasing balloons in the Corrales bosque. #Albuquerque #travel #NewMexico #BalloonFiesta

Went to #BalloonFiesta and took my @furilabs FLX1 with me to see what the photos looked like and they came out pretty good. This was way better than expected. There was a slight issue with focus sometimes but most of the time they came out excellent.

From last Saturday over my neighborhood. This is a single exposure, not a composite—I was luckily able to catch the balloons in this configuration. I've no idea if the caption matches the official balloon names (yes, balloons have names.)

Lots of balloons floating over the neighborhood this morning. This one from a few days ago.
Thought this was a strawberry at first. No, the apple is apparently spotted like that too
Here are a few fun photos from today’s mass ascension at the 52nd annual International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Albuquerque’s Host City balloonHundreds and hundreds of traditional, racing, and special shape hot air balloons took flight this morning as part of this magical event. The 2024 edition, which started back on October 5th continues through this Sunday, October 13th.
Peace to all!
Dr. Frankenstein, I presume. HOT temper balloon 🔥 – no propane needed! “Well buck my teeth and call me ‘Beaver!'” Me eats wabbits! “Only you, can prevent wildfires! “ Elvis is IN the building! Froggy gone courtin’. Skyglow Preparing to fly… Lobos rising! Cornucopia of colors “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” — Yoda (rather timely quote in 2024) Colorful Colorado on my mind Rocky Mountain HIGH!#Albuquerque #aviation #BalloonFiesta #balloons #cartoons #characters #cities #flying #fun #hotAirBalloons #InternationalBalloonFiesta #NewMexico #Skies #tourism #travel

No dawn patrol or morning glow because it was too windy 😭
The light show was completely badass, which made up for it a bit.
Also the announcer just said that mass ascension is going ahead, phew. Was looking for a while like we might have a no balloon morning. #Albuquerque #BalloonFiesta
So excited for the dawn patrol. Apparently the awe of the #BalloonFiesta wears off but this is my… fourth time, I think and … nope, not yet!
