We had a dry summer here in Colorado, but there were many beautiful moments across the state. The few stormy days we had unfortunately derailed many of my shooting attempts. Out of 5 balloon festivals we tried to attend, only the Labor Day Liftoff in Colorado Springs got off the ground.

God blessed us with many deep moments with friends and some excellent sunrises and sunsets. We finally made it to the Maroon Bells and endured a sopping wet weekend with another balloon festival cancellation, but enjoyed a nice reward with some beautiful rainbows.

Check out the Colorful Colorado gallery, Hot Air Balloon gallery, and the Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana gallery for some of the highlights, then look for the annual calendar announcement soon.
