Hi Everyone,

Found this site this morning and I had to join. For my first post, thought I'd show a picture I took while doing my other hobby.

DSC00037.jpg

While the colors are a bit washed out, it was a difficult shot, with the sun being where it was. This was taken with my little Sony P&S. Thanks for having me, and I look forward to learning a lot, and maybe being able to contribute something worthy of the rest of you:bow .

    Welcome to Dgrin, Dale! What a cool 'hobby'--a hot air balloon pilot! I bet you get lots of incredible photo ops up that high. I like your shot here, makes me feel happy and sunshiney inside. :)

    happy day,

    Thanks
    everyone for the nice comments. And yes, never forget the crew that helps me pack up the balloon. Without them, I literally could not fly.
