Yesterday morning, Jim and I got up bright and early—while it was still dark, in fact—to nab a lakeside seat at Memorial Park in Colorado Springs.

Our super spot was ideal for nabbing some super shots of the annual Labor Day weekend balloon festival, renamed this year as the Colorado Springs Labor Day Lift Off.

I've placed forty of my favorites in a Labor Day Lift Off photo album in my Brag Book, so be sure to click to the Brag Book for more.

It was a colorful way to start the day and mark the unofficial end of summer!

Today's question:

Have you ever been to a balloon festival? If so, where?
