Above It All

There's a large park very nearby that gets used for a lot of things, including alternative aviation. From radio control model airplanes to those powered parachutes, hot air ballooning is also popular. One sees these hot air balloons fairly often on weekends; seeing one on a weekday is rather unusual. Perhaps a celebration of a special day.

Don't think I'd go up in one, frankly, but there's something appealing about floating above the fray.

Note the Lone Star flag on the right side of the balloon.
