Tigard Festival of Balloons
A week ago, I woke up at 5am to attend the annual Tigard Festival of Balloons. The balloons launch at about 6am, wind and weather permitting, and it was a treat. Of course my wife was snoozing at the time..though she has been wrooknig like mad and a little under the weather too, so I dont blame her for sleeping in, but she missed a wonderful display of colors and overly happy people.
Of course, my wife is infatuated with strawberries, so hon, this pic is for you..(I actually took about 8 pics just of the strawberry balloon so she would be happy).
There were about 25-30 balloons launched..I tried to get as many as I could in a picture..they launch one every 3-5 minutes or so..so some drifted away and I couldnt capture them, but this one has about 10 or 11 in there. It was awesome. I just wish the lighting was a little better when I shot most of the photos. Oh well, theres always next year!

I love these pics- all the bright, summery colors made me smile, and you got some great angles on the balloons. Thanks for posting these- and thanks for the comment earlier! I'll be second-guessing those hangups now ;)
Cool! I wish I could get up that early.
Yey Tigard Pictures!!! that is great. I love the strawberry balloon. So colorful, I want to eat it. its super super good.
How gorgeous! I would love to ride on one one day. I imagine it to be so romantic (when it is probably really scary).
Those were beautiful pictures! It must have been awsome!
How fun, they are almost so perfec that they could be post cards! I've always *tried* to get up and see one of the balloon festivals but love to snooze too much.
Good luck with the move! yay....a house!
Those are some great pictures. I love when hot air balloons go up at the same time. Nice post. And thanks for joining.
