On my way north to Cheyenne Saturday morning, on a rare calm morning, I saw this just south of Loveland, CO. There really is a lot to be said for keeping the camera with you all the time and just being in the right place at the right time. I had also forgotten how nice it is to shoot RAW. I had been just shooting jpegs waiting for Apple to update to 10.4.9. I'll be back out today with my stuff strapped to the back of the motorcycle. Spring is here!

I love it, I wish that we had balloons around here

NICE! Not often do I see a hot air balloon!

The combination of the balloon and the mountains is wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
