A beautiful set. Just love the many different balloons and the characters they become. Mahalo for sharing.

Sorry they didn't fly today and tomorrow doesn't look promising, but I'll tell you on Friday they all came to my place. Okay, maybe not all...I live in Corrales and they were all over the village on Friday. It was GREAT!!!
The field is, however, the place to be.
GREAT photos BTW!!!

Great set! I would have gone but we were in Utah camping. (I've been almost every year since 1990). I was there, manning a Funnel Cake stand (for a charity), when that Smoky the Bear ballon in your second picture crashed into a radio tower. It happened literally straigh across from the stand I was working and I saw the whole thing!

I remember that well. They climbed down the tower.
Yep, the pilot and two young boys. Here is a picture I took from the Funnel Cake stand I was working at right after it happened.
