Flying High at Sunrise


It's tourist season here in the desert and one activity the snowbirds enjoy is taking hot air balloon rides at sunrise. That's the best time out here as it's usually calm early in the morning. We can get some pretty heavy winds as the day warms up so they like to get an early start. I'm not an early riser but was fortunate to catch this shot one morning.

Balloons at Sunrise


One of the pleasures of living in the desert is watching hot air balloons rise in the early morning light. As development takes over, there will be fewer take off and landing spots and I will miss watching these colorful orbs rise in the the desert morn.
