This is Taos, where our cousin and little cousins (her kids) live; we're probably staying here through Friday or so. We had the good luck to be here during the Taos Balloon Rally, which happens every year. Mom and I got up at dawn, threw on some clothes over our jammies, and went out to watch the balloons. (Apparently, these are hot-air, not helium, balloons, and they ascend best when it's cold out.) It turns out that it's sort of hard to photograph hot air balloons so that they look right; it is, as Mom said, like trying to take pictures of the moon. Apparently, after the balloons all go up, they drift across the plateau and go down along the Rio Grande Gorge for the day. I think they are wonderful.
Hey, I love your photos..they are really nice...
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're having a wonderful time - I had no problem detecting the hot air balloons - what a wonderful crisp and clear morning to enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte and I had Eddie over the other day and the kids were so cute together (as you can imagine)! Charlotte misses you alot and I've been showing her the pictures too.
Enjoy the rest of your time in Taos!
