Soaring with the eagles!--er, balloons...

I put up a trial balloon this morning (did he really say that?) at the launch site for Vegas Hot Air Balloons.

There were broken clouds in the East, so I had to make the best of the few moments when the Sun broke through.

 
I carefully stayed back (pilots are very sensitive about drones), but will work in closer in days to come,  as the balloon crews get used to the drone being nearby. They do this many days, so now that I know where it is and when they lit off, I'll work at it
 
Two years ago, I had a spectacular day for the Balloon Festival   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpQarQMG7zU
 
 
 
The most active days will be on weekends. Don't know how many customers they get during the week. Perhaps they attract casino guests every day...
 
 
I got this sequence recorded just before some clouds blocked the Sun. With luck, I'll get some really sunlit sequences in coming days!
 
 
More adventures ahead!
