Adirondack Balloon Festival - Day 2

Thanks to Gary Morgan for the unforgettable weekend, and of course to Canon and Nikon for letting Shawn and I borrow the wonderful lenses which made these photos possible. Now... if we could only get time off from work to drive to Albuquerque in a couple of weeks for the really *big* festival!!! Maybe next year...
