I love balloon glows and watching hot air balloons. We have them here in Galena, too.

Thanks so much for sharing the wonderful pictures. It is a whiteout kind of a day here today, and will likely be snowing all day. Those balloons brightened it up considerably. smile

Oh my goodness. Those are beautiful. We have a balloon ride company a short distance from our home. I'm too chicken to ride in one, though, ever since a balloon landed in our backyard a few years ago. They don't seem to have much control over where those things come down, sometimes. I love watching them, however.

Know what you mean, Jabber. I climbed into one that was tethered, along with my kids, back when they were grade schoolers. It was fascinating.

But I have never had the nerve to hire one for an actual ride!!

I think I will do it someday. Probably before I finally get around to trying skydiving...

The Amazing Race started last night and one of their feats was having to sky-dive. Sorry folks but that's where I draw the line. NO jumping out of planes for this gal...
