Grandios. Auch Schweine können fliegen 😂
Yes they can. Thanks, einfachtilda.
Yes !
I had no idea there were balloons like this! Love the pigku, very apt!
Wow! That is the best selection of hot air balloons evah!
Love the pigku. And I so miss going to my father’s when they had the balloon fest.
Thanks, Dale. I hope to see a lot more special shapes.
And share with us! 🙂
Of course.
🙂
I always enjoy seeing your photos of the balloon festival, Tim! The variety of balloons going up is impressive. These things must be quite expensive to manufacture. The Pigku accompanying the pig balloon is great!
Thanks, Lavinia. Balloons are expensive.
Clear sky again tonight. Should be good moon viewing up here.
Partly cloudy tonight. The moon is in and out of the clouds. This is International Observe The Moon Night.
What fun.
Thanks, Gigi.
Great photos and pigku 🐷
Thanks, JYP.
Wonderful gallery! The balloons reflected in the water give a different perspective. And the Pigku is forging a new genre of verse. Tim keep the balloon shots and verses coming please! 😉
Thanks, Maj & Sher.
Wow, I ain’t never seen balloons like some of these.
New days. New dawns. New balloons. Thanks, Shey.
Oh wow, these are amazing.
Thanks, Roberta.
Oh, a big fat lie indeed! perfect pigku! Beautiful fest!
Thanks, Marina.
Thanks for this post, Tim. Every year I’m so surprised with your amazing photographs of all those wonderful balloons. I remember seeing a flying pig years ago, but that was at a Pink Floyd concert…
Pink Floyd is the prefect place for a flying pig. Thanks, Herman.
Thank you so much Timothy for these awesome shots of the balloons. I like the specialy formed ones very much. Also the amount of balloons (in one of your pictures) is impressive ! As we learned from all this : a lot of animals and things can fly 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thanks Rudi, The are 768 balloons at this years fiesta.
Wauw, way more than the even here in Belgium were there are only a few dozen balloons. Amerika is still the biggest !!! ha ha ha
Very interesting post.
Thanks, Eunice.
I love the creativity of these balloons, so much fun!
Thanks, Tiffany.
Boy…. and hete I was, impressed by a Minions blimp several years back.
Thanks, Leenda.
That’s hilarious. The balloons are awesome.
Thanks, Jeff.
Welcome, Tim.
Tim these are incredibly wild balloons. Do you have any ideas how many there are? I loved the reflections in the water. It must be cool to watch all those taking off and filling the sky. Thanks for sharing this fun time with us. 🦋
I don’t know how many went up on Saturday, but there are 768 balloons register to fly.
Wowza! I enjoyed the one with the glasses showing it’s reflection of balloons!
Amazing shots! I thought of you when I heard it on the news that the Festival is starting.
And your pigku was cute.
Thanks, Nancy.
hahahah they are all flying and so cute.. love it💗
Thanks, Cindy.
I recognize some of those balloons. Even though I got sick, it was a great time being at the festival. Thanks for the memories!
Thanks, Teri. You flew in the Pink Elephant if I remember correctly. Six years gone by. You are welcome.
Yep, the Pink Elephant which is now one with a princess crown.
Tim, these photos are amazing. I never realized how much creativity was put into this industry. You see coverage from a distance – at a glance – on the news while you’re busy doing something else and say, wow…that’s a pretty cool balloon festival they got there, But…I never looked at these close-up. And yes, this is definitely one instance where Pigs can fly.
Thanks, Bruce. There are some really amazing special shapes balloons. Some of the special shapes balloons are gigantic.
Who knew sloths could fly!?! Pretty partial to the witch and the pumpkin balloons – it is, afterall, that time of the season. Oh, and I like the wolf …’cuz, well, wolves are just plain cool.
I thought you would like the witch. You need her for you trail. She’s giant. Thanks, Brian.
Well, in New Mexico, pigs can fly!
Fabulous close ups of the balloons, Tim.
Such creativity to be co-mingled with air balloons.
Wonderful post! xo
Thanks, Resa. A lot of cool balloons come out of creative ideas.
I don’t even think I can pick a favorite!! The witch is awesome, the fox is sooo cool, and when pigs fly is just the bees knees
Thanks, LaShelle. It’s impossible to pick a favorite. I simply like all of them.
Wow these are fabulous! I always enjoy your balloon pics Tim …
Excellent pigku and photos
Thanks, JTP. Nothing like a flying pig.
