My friend, Charlie, got a special treat from his wife for his birthday.  A hot-air balloon ride!  These are just a few I caught with the Oly w/18-180mm.  The entire take-off series can be seen at http://tinyurl.com/2dk89vn

What an awesome gift!  Great pics too.

What a great gift.  Today the ride tomorrow............. the balloon! Good catch.

What an imaginative wife he has!  And it looks as though she enjoyed the ride as much as he did!   

Great series of photos.

It gets better, y'all!  Charlie is a C-130 pilot.  Tomorrow I get to fly with him to Fort Knox where I get to fly in a Blackhawk helicopter to a US Marine base and ride in an Abrams A1 tank and then fly back to the C-130 for a flight back to Louisville! I'm taking all three of my cameras with spare batteries and memory cards.  I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight! 

Get lots of pictures!!!
