@Kachina624   Do you know when they might go over the Reno part of Nevada?

Very unusual early morning weather for Albuquerque made for a striking mass ascension.  I've never before seen one like it.  I must say I prefer sunshine and beautiful blue skies.  Horrid weather predicted for the rest of the week.

It was fabulous!  If I'd come to visit Albuquerque as a tourist yesterday I would have been tempted to look at real estate in the city after the balloons landed.

A perfect October day.

In fact, visibility was so good (sun wasn't in my eyes) that I was able to see the ferris wheel at Balloon Fiesta Park.

When did they get a ferris wheel?

Do you mean the gas balloons in America's Challenge distance race?  So far it's still postponed because of the weather.

This is Bravo Bear from Taiwan.

He's one of the balloons that will launch today for the Flight of the Nations Mass Ascension.

Unless it keeps raining...

This is Tiger from Australia.

This is Princess Nelly from Belgium.

Oh, well...

The pilots are leaving the field.  It's raining sideways out there.

It's pouring in Paradise Hills.  Getting any moisture in RR?

How long does that event last ?

@just bee    I think the tiger is my favorite balloon this year.  The picture I posted earlier of him peeking over the house is so cute.  I love his expression.  I wonder what happened to the bees?
