I had to take a car in for repair and go to a meeting first thing this morning, so I had to photograph the balloons on my way out of the office. Our office building is close to the balloon field.
So cool that you can see them from the office too… beautiful views too [I agree about the streetlight!].. and I have to say, I love that bubbling dawn sky!
I went out to do my daily photos of the dawn sky this morning and surprised a skunk. It sprayed, but I don’t think it got me. I asked our office manager if I smelled like a skunk and she said no. Phew! Lot’s more balloons flying over the office this morning. Thanks, Marina.
It is fantastic. I’m lucky that I live across the river from the balloon field and our office is just down the street from it. I get the balloons at home and at work. Thanks, Samantha.
Okay, that’s just plain scary watching the fire go up into the balloon. I’m surprised they don’t catch fire. Too much excitement for me. Although fun to watch! xx
I work in danger every day! lol Pins and needles draw blood. I keep my tetanus shot up to date!
Bloody dangerous tools of the trade.
True!
Hey when I used sewing machines, I sewed through a finger many times. The industrial machine’s needle’s could go through bone.
I hand sew now. I had enough of machines!
¡A la Machina! So many years ago when I worked on building portable buildings, we used drills that were on all the time that had clutches that engaged the bit when you pushed down on it to screw in the screws. I was screwing down floorboard really fast when a misjudged and screwed my finger to the floor. I had to use my free hand to pull 50 feet of cord over and using my free fingers on my hand screwed to the floor, twist the plug to unplug the drill so I could put it in reverse. Once the drill was in reverse, I had to plug the drill back in and I was able to unscrew my finger from the floor. My finger was a bloody mess and I had to file a bunch of paperwork because it was a job related accident.
Then there was the time the x-acto knife I was using wasn’t so exact and I sliced off the side of my finger cutting mats in the photo lab at the university. I took the piece of finger and myself to the emergency room where they sewed the piece of my finger back on.
You’re hired! No needle is going to screw you! Lol! xo

I really like the texture of the clouds in the first photo. I’ve not seen clouds with quite that texture before.
New Mexico clouds. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
What a view! 🤩
Thanks, Michele.
If I was in that office, I’d be getting zero work done…watching all those balloons do their thing.
Most of the folks in the other offices in the complex were out watching balloons. Thanks, Bruce.
Tim, love the sky and balloons. I’ve never seen decorated balloons like that. Glad you caught the show. 📚🎶 Christine
Thanks, Christine.
That’s absolutely stunning!! What gorgeous photography. As you know, I LOVE hot air balloons 😉
If you check out Saturday’s post I have close ups of a lot of the special shapes. Thanks, LaShelle.
I’ll definitely do that!! Thanks for the suggestion ☺️
Tuesday’s post has some nice perspectives.
Second best thing, then being there!

This has been a fun week observing all the different balloon photos, Tim. Thanks for sharing. It is amazing how many character shaped ones there are…
Thanks, Maj & Sher. Lots of characters floating around..
How cool that you have this in your “back yard” so to speak!
At home and at work. Thanks, Dale.
So lucky!!
So ein buntes Spektakel gefällt mir!
There are so many wondrful colors and shapes. Thanks, einfachtilda.
Just wonderful images Tim 🙂
Thanks, Sylvia.
Beautiful captures. Especially I like the one with the orange streetlight.
I liked the intermingling of the streetlight with the balloons. Thanks, Heidi.
Yes, me too!
Thanks, Mary Jo.
I am so glad you stopped and took the time to take these photos. Thank you!
I enjoyed seeing all of them.
You are welcome, Nancy.

Skunk was obviously also enjoying the bubbly sky!
He was so excited he couldn’t conttol himself. Thanks, Marina.
😂🤣
Awesome, Tim! It’s always a treat to see your balloon photos each year!
Thanks, Tiffany.
Absolutely amazing that this is your office view!! I can’t imagine how magical it would be to see so many balloons!
It is fantastic. I’m lucky that I live across the river from the balloon field and our office is just down the street from it. I get the balloons at home and at work. Thanks, Samantha.
That is a very textured pre-dawn sky. The clouds look like they are alive.
The color and variety of balloons is always a pleasure to see every year. Thanks, Tim!
Thanks, Lavinia.
I agree with Lavinia on all accounts. How fun to live in the SW for the vistas and these balloon events.
Thanks, Brad.
What an amazing view Tim … !
Thanks, Julie.

The envelopes are huge so the flame has plenting of space to heat.. They do catch them on fire now and then. Thanks, Resa.
I knew it! I suppose danger has a certain allure.
A big allure for many people.
