I was looking at an Auto Club map of the park area and looks like there's a small lake or pond nearby. I wonder how well that would work in trying to get the balloons reflecting in the water...........

So that'll be 2 of us going...I'd also do the Temecular balloon do as well usually in Oct' I think...gonna be doing a fair bit of snapping next year by the look of things...here's one from a previous Bristol Fiesta. I love the Special Shapes so getting shots of them is always my priority!

Probably not going to be able to make the air races, unless I find a good camping spot somewhere. I'll have to look into that and see if I can stretch that trip out a bit, lol.   

Oh and speaking of ballooning events, for those interested in the Albuquerque Fiesta, I've received word that the Darth Vader balloon that was there in '07 and '08, will be back again this year. .... ;D
