As I arrived to work on Friday I was greeted by a number of hot-air balloons taking off above the skies of Plano, Texas. It's time for the annual Plano Balloon Festival of 2008 sponsored by EDS Credit Union - and this is the EDS Balloon in my photo! =) They have all kinds of balloons, different colors, shapes and size that will be lifting off early in the morning (Saturday) and it's quite a sight to see - check the link above for additional info and scheduling throughout the weekend....
And who can look at a hot-air balloon and not think of that classic Fifth Dimension song - 'Up, Up and Away in my beautiful Balloon'!!

thanks for you comment on my blog Brian. Oh man, the 5th Dimension, that takes me back!
ReplyDeleteI will be at the Balloon Festival later today after my daughters volleyball game. Should be fun!
Very cool - that's something we should have done on my vacation down there is go up in a hot air balloon!!! Neato!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have a flight in a hot air balloon. Great sky watch photo and a classic song!
ReplyDeleteWe took Shoo Shoo this morning for the 7am launch...very cool. We got home around noon and he's still napping almost 4 hours later!
