i was at the 37th annual walla walla balloon stampede!! it's the biggest hot air balloon rally in washington state and it is just plain awesome. i helped a balloon take off this year, but for some reason my pictures are not uploading correctly, so i've posted pictures from last year instead. take a look...
(air being blown into the balloon by a fan)
(and some hot air post-liftoff)
(triangular balloon-made by hand)
(my absolute fave.)
(a peek through the trees)
(the best part is when they all liftoff and are in the air flying around together--there they go!)
(total magic.)**all photos my own
