Pre-Dawn Sky
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.

Does anyone remember “Misty Mountain Hop” by Led Zeppelin?
No Fly
Hey! What do you think you’re doing? The balloon officials said we are not supposed to fly this morning.
Even though it was a no-fly morning, this King Fisher went flying by.
Dawn
Taboo
Let The Light Shine Down
Beautiful Dawn’s breath
Held the balloons on the ground
Eternal hours wait
Sun’s rays break through clouds
Shining favor on balloons
Green flag lets them fly
Up up and away
One flew under broken clouds
Crazy as it seems

Sirius is the bright star in the center third of the photo below Orian’s Belt.
A closer view. I don’t know what was making the streak to the left of Orian’s Belt. It changed position slightly from the first shot.
Jupiter is in the lower right at the treeline.
Mars, The Pleiades, and Uranus are aligned.
Dance, Dance, Dakota Dance*

Renaissance? I go
Medieval on your hiney
Lay terms? “Kick Your Butt”
Well before dawn, protodawn, predawn

The Moom on September 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21.
*I have no idea if either of the dancers is named Dakota, but their dancing and the Faire reminded me of the line “Dance, dance, Dokato dance…” in Dakota the Dancing Bear, Part II by David Allen Coe. It’s a great song, well worth a listen.
