Since I'm still recovering from Friday's market (thank you, chronic illness 🤧), please enjoy a video from Balloon Fiesta 2025. And excuse the ending lol 😜. My maternal unit missed the memo about no talkie during video recordings 😅.

A hot air balloon flying overhead. It's shades of yellow, orange, and red with a triangular basket. The burner is firing. In the distance, in the top right corner and even farther up, is another balloon that appears to be rainbow-esque with dark vertical stripes.

I hope the weather at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta (AIBF) 2025 is just as nice as AIBF 2024. The partially cloudy sky gave the official photographer team many lovely photos.

Colorado away!

Liftoff of a Colorado-themed hot air balloon at the 50th annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta (2022).

#hotairballoon #fiesta #AIBF #albuquerque #newmexico #colorado
A colorful hot air balloon, in colors and design drawn from the Colorado state flag, rises up above its neighbors on a crisp October morning. The titular balloon is mostly blue and white, with the red and yellow "C" central. To its sides are two balloons in shades of yellow, red, and dark blue.

I have to concentrate a little more on the "globitos" (smaller remote-controlled hot air balloons) this year.
