Still my favorite shot from the 2014 Festival of Balloons. The Festival of Balloons is a non-profit organization raising funds for many non-profit groups in Tigard. Find out more here: www.tigardballoon.org/
A hot air balloon went over my house and the sky was quite blue so I thought I'd go for it - I played about with a couple of my favourite ones and merged them on Photoshop.
Saturday morning they had the annual Balloon Race, which is part of the Kentucky Derby Festival. About 40 - 50 lift off to chase the 'hare' balloon.
In a nutshell, the hare has 15 extra minutes to fill with air and lift off. It finds a location in the vicinity and drops a sand bag. The other balloons chase the hare, and the balloon whose sandbag lands closest to the hare's wins.
It's amazing that, even though they appear to move slow, we found ourselves running to catch them taking off. I went to the Balloon Race with Leena, Paula, and Bethany.
