If you’re looking for things to do in Bend this weekend, it’s  time once again for the Balloons Over Bend event. Here are a few shots I took at 6:45 this morning. See more pictures and info about the event at my post from last year –  Hot Air Extraordinaire.

Centered in Bend, Oregon, my blog branches out into nature, history, and art-related topics.

  • Sweet shots!
    I hope the balloons are not like the precarious ones in the news lately!

    • Some of them looked awfully close to the rooftops of nearby house. I wouldn't want one landing in my front yard. ;)
