2008 PLANO BALLOON FESTIVAL

Was invited to shoot the Balloon Festival in Plano, Tx. What a sight and everyone was so nice. Met another photographer out there and we had a blast shooting and talking about our photography. She is really into wildlife too so we'll do some wildlife shoots together as well. If a Balloon Festival comes to your town, you gotta go!

Superb shots. You need the weather for balloons though - they're not much fun in the English greyness and rain!
