Only a few balloons went up on the last day of the Balloon Fiesta.

The full October moon rose tonight.
Misty mountain hop
Made for a good photo op
Balloons rose nonstop

Does anyone remember “Misty Mountain Hop” by Led Zeppelin?
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
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

You’re a pig you cannot fly
What a big fat lie
Cloudy, mostly gray sunset.
Clear Dawn

Jupiter is in the lower right at the treeline.
Mars, The Pleiades, and Uranus are aligned.
