Crowds eagerly gather at the ClovisFest on the Rodeo Grounds in Clovis, California. The yearly tradition of hot air balloons gracing the skies of the central valley of California begins with onlookers such as these as they cheer Bon Voyage! to the navigation crews.
And away they float into the great wide open. Mike Kilcrease finds himself mesmerized by the brightly colored balloon canvases as they gently drift farther afield.
"They are so quiet and peaceful, just floating in the air. It reminds me of lying in a hammock."
Peaceful is the perfect word- the pictures are beautiful
