Proto-dawn sky with clouds and stars Sirius is in line with Orian’s Belt.
Pre-dawn the clouds had gathered, and I surprised a skunk. I thought he might have got me a little, but when I asked our office manager if I smelled like a skunk, she said no. Although, another staff member came in a bit skunked after her dog got sprayed.
Lots of balloons up this morning. Click on any photo in the gallery to enlarge it and then you can click through the slideshow.

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.

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

I was always told
You’re a pig you cannot fly
What a big fat lie

Got Gas?
Harvest Moon
The Harvest Moon rose yellow. I was still in August and David caught my error. Thanks, David. The full moon is on Saturday, September 10th, but the moon does not pass the meridian tonight. Therefore, is close enough for Rock and Roll to be considered full of itself.
