Our Hot Air Balloon Trip

4/10/12 Took a hot air balloon ride in Taos, N. M.
This is the basket on it's side.

John helping to hold the balloon as it fills.



More of John's help.





The balloon almost filled.







Up, up and away.









Over the Rio Grande River gorge.











Our shadow - we are higher here.













Mount San Antonio. It is a volcano mountain & it stands alone - not in any mountain range.















Community below us.

















Packing up after a good landing.
