There is something about the beauty of an air balloon that lifts your spirit right along with the balloon. Watching this take off against the mountain backdrop just fills my heart with hope.
Sorry I know I've been a poor contact lately but I'm getting my health back on track and will be soaring again soon!
Thanks for sharing the experience,

What a joy to be able to watch the colorful hot air balloons ascend! The event was in Ridgway, Colorado and so it seemed they were floating high above the earth. These two are just coming in for a landing.

(sorry, I'm not able to be on as much anymore due to heavy family responsibilities)

Elbert Hubbard
Elbert Green Hubbard (June 19, 1856 – May 7, 1915) was an American writer, publisher, artist, and philosopher.
Hubbard described himself as an anarchist and a socialist.
He believed in social, economic, domestic, political, mental and spiritual freedom. In A Message to Garcia and Thirteen Other Things (1901), Hubbard explained his Credo by writing "I believe John Ruskin, William Morris, Henry Thoreau, Walt Whitman and Leo Tolstoy to be Prophets of God, and they should rank in mental reach and spiritual insight with Elijah, Hosea, Ezekiel and Isaiah.
Hubbard wrote a critique of war, law and government in the booklet Jesus Was An Anarchist (1910). Originally published as The Better Part in A Message to Garcia and Thirteen Other Things, the essay was described by Ernest Howard Crosby as "The best thing Elbert ever wrote.
Another book which was written by Hubbard is titled Health and Wealth. It was published in 1908 and includes many short truisms.
Had fun playing with the Art History brush and patterns. This is created from one of my photos at the Air Balloon Show as part of the Ashley For The Arts in Arcadia, Wisconsin each summer. Check out www.ashleyforthearts.com/ Enjoy!

The Balloon
Gregory Scott
In The Balloon, a field of tulips unravels into liquid color, as though spring itself were dissolving into a memory. Blades of green and bursts of pink, red, and gold twist upward in waves—joyous, chaotic, uncontainable. Amid this visual crescendo, a single hot air balloon rises with calm precision, untouched by the ground’s chromatic storm.
This work is a meditation on contrast—between stillness and movement, clarity and distortion, groundedness and escape. The balloon is more than an object; it is a symbol of ascent above disorder, of quiet amidst noise, of a self lifted gently beyond the fray. Gregory Scott’s signature technique of deliberate warping transforms a pastoral landscape into a swirling poem—part dream, part memory, part metaphor.
In its poetic understatement, The Balloon asks: what do we leave behind when we rise? And what beauty, in its most chaotic form, dares us to stay?
