Balloons and Tunes Saturday Dawn

Balloons & Tunes 2009 at Beulah Park started out a little rough. I arrived this morning to completely clear star filled skies. As the sun started to rise you could see haze beginning to build to the west. The organizers “stalled” things along for about an hour past the scheduled launch time. They made one last weather check at 7:30 and gave everyone the thumbs up to light the sky.

There were about 20 balloons this morning. These are a few of my favorites. More to come.
