Mancos Balloon Festival ..... continued

Saturday morning at least twenty hot air balloons landed in our rural neighborhood.  I think that the horse and mule thought that the sky was falling.  Just about any direction we looked there was a big colorful balloon spewing hot air and flames.  The balloonists were very careful, and totally aware of the reactions that livestock have when a balloon approaches, and they did an excellent job of trying to avoid areas with livestock.
Here's a small sampling of just how colorful the sky was this weekend here in Mancos, Colorado.

    











A little color in ones life, never hurts a thing.
I just wish I could convince my mule and my horse of that!

Monday, it's back to normal skies....
