Art and Air Festival

I got up early this morning to go watch the balloons take off at the Art and Air Festival.  It's always fun.  I love the colors.  Yes, I'd like to take a ride someday in a balloon.  The weather was great until after the balloons had launched, then in rolled the clouds.  Most of the balloons ended up south for landings today, looks like.  Not the in town landings of some years.

The used camera I bought came yesterday and I love it.  Plus, I got the little one working again.  I just blew out the card slot with canned air, because apparently something got down in there and that's why the card could not be detected properly by the camera.   I'm happy to have that little one working again, as it is very very easy to carry around.
