A flying witch is a perfect idea for a hot air balloon entry to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. Don’t miss the cat clawing for dear life on her cloak.

It’s interesting to see Wells Fargo making an appearance at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. But, they’re welcome just as long as they keep making and flying hot air balloons like this one.

This poor hot air balloon is a fish that has a scary future. Sushi is raw fish we consume. Based on its expression, I think it knows something.

Soccer Ball

This happy zebra does look a little nervous. I wonder if zebras are commonly afraid of heights. I suspect so.

This clown is super chill and flying high.

Hey, turning a hot air balloon into an advertisement takes some confidence. It’s pretty cool looking nonetheless.

A memorable and friendly face took to the skies during this year’s Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. I definitely see a putty tat.

This friendly little bear came all the way from Germany just to grace the clear blue Southwestern skies.

The Force is all around us. Yoda reminds us of this during the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.
