I was fishing this morning and heard the woosh-woosh sound of a hot air balloon. It was just taking off and it rose above the lake. It was quite the show. Not bad photos for my lake camera a Canon Powershot A590.
Here is a close up of the balloon.
See all that other offers at the main site.

I see the balloon's reflection in the water in the first photo. Must have been a nice surprise to see the balloon rising over the water. Hope that hot air whooshing didn't scare the fish!
What do you mean not bad shots? These are beautiful!! Gorgeous sky too.
Wow, nice shots! Amazing what the simple cameras can do, eh?! Your Crappie day looks mighty fine!
You don't have any bad shots, Tom! These are terrific! Love the balloon! One of the fun things I've been able to do is enjoy a balloon ride over the wine country in California! Love the reflection in water, too! Have a great weekend!

Tranquil picture of the lake. Great close up of the balloon.

I would sooo love to ride in a hot air balloon! LOOOVE it!!!
I think there will be a hot air balloon fest near here next month. Your blog post reminded me to check it out!
Well, I am jealous! I haven't seen a hot air balloon overhead in some time. Do you protect your camera from water when you take it fishing?
Wow Tom... You were in the right place at the right time.... Gorgeous pictures.... Love that blue sky--against the pretty colors.

When I was but a wee lad, I told my father that one day I was going to travel all over the place in one of those big, beautiful balloons. He didn't believe me. Do you know what he said? He said, "Son, you're full of hot air."
I've never been up in one but it sure would be nice. Beautiful balloon!
Utterly gorgeous.
Thrilling images of the balloon!
Very beautiful Sky Watch, Tom.
Stunning images. We used to have balloons in our area too, until oops an accident, so they banned them here. Thanks for sharing, these are really good. Anna :)
Higher and higher --- Great shots Tom.
