Default I8ABMR's ISF meets some beautiful hot air balloons

Was on the way home from work and saw the hot air balloons that take off in my area getting ready for lift off. Made for a beautiful picture even though the quality totally sucks. This time of year we will usually see 10-14 of these in the sky above our neighborhood. Weather was a beautiful 81 today . Perfect weather

I have a DSLR but didn't have in the car on the way home from work. They take off an land less than a mile from my house so I can try to take some later this week. I have been on a hardcore detailing kick this weekend. Flag barred the body until 2:00 am last night. Put 2 coats of Zaino on her today and 2 coats of z8. Might do another coat or two tonight . Wanted to take her out to a local car show but decided I'd rather just detail. She gets a new clear bra this week. Also wanted to hit the front end with dr color chip system before I cover the nose with the bra.

The ballooning season is back . Caught this one right before they took off . LOL The damn thing was so close that when it launched it started moving towards my car. I literally had to jump in it and floor it .

Hah, yea that was mostly tongue in cheek I was born and raised in Scottsdale. Winter here is not as bad as most think, it's been 60's here up until the past week. It gets cold on occasion but typically it's 40's and sunny!

Where were the photos taken at? I see those balloons near my dad's house in cave creek sometimes.

North North Phoenix area. They take off from about 4-5 different spots depending on wind etc. They are super cool to look at but there's no way in hell I would get in one
