Up Up and Away

Even though I have lived in Reno all my life, this is only the third time I've ever seen Dawn Patrol at the Reno Balloon Races. But every time I do it takes my breath away. There is a certain kind of glamour in seeing a hot air balloon light up the predawn that is almost magical.







This year seems to have had a lot more interesting shaped balloons. The last couple years have been a bit disappointing. But aren't the kaleidoscope of colors against our lovely Nevada sky beautiful? It is a highlight of the year to get up in the morning and see the sky filled with rainbows.
