It was my first time flying in an hot air balloon and I was excited. I had to wake up at 4:30am in the morning to do this and it was more than worth it. I brought my camera to capture some great shots but there is so much going on during the inflation that it’s overwhelming. I followed my pilot,Buddy, into the hot air balloon to see him get ready and snagged my top shot of the day.
