It's been a long time since I participated in PhotoHunt. But, I was going to do a post on the Great Forest Park Balloon Race & Balloon Glow anyway and I thought it would make a nice twist on the theme.
Usually when a persons words are unreliable, we say they are "full of hot air". Here is a case where we can take that expression literally.

Cool shots. You are right, you gave us a nice twist on the theme.
How early did you have to get up to get there? Looks like a day was just breaking.
I am participating too... :)

Hot air balloons are cool!
I was reading your profile-we are the same way-drive old cars and have an older home, but alas, we aren't debt free and can't travel that much.

Great idea for the theme and a really good "tease" line in the PH comments :)
