Balloons!

Last weekend was the Balloon Festival in Medicine Hat, Alberta.  Unfortunately they couldn't launch for Friday and Saturday due to wind and lightning, but...Sunday was the perfect day.

I was out gardening early when I heard a big "whoosh!"  Only a few hundred feet above me was this big beautiful balloon sailing through the prairie sky.  We were close enough to pass a few words...a great way to say "Good Morning!"
