We could see the Morning Glow from home but not well enough for photos or video. We could see the fires lighting up against the mountain but not the balloons.
The Mass Ascension should be starting soon!

This isn't the most beautiful photo with powerlines in the way, but...
This isn't the most beautiful photo with powerlines in the way, but the mountains are only this color briefly during sunset and this is the first time I've caught it on camera.
I love that almost anywhere we go these mountains are our view. I love them so much that I wish I could hug them. 😍
We don't usually see afternoon balloons, but...
We don't usually see afternoon balloons, but here some are! Must be a Fiesta thing.
This day has been gorgeous and I've been outside for most of the day with my plants. That never would have been me in Alabama. I didn't mix with outdoors there. Bugs, humidity, heat... It's just different here and I love it.
If you zoom in, be sure to look at those mountains. I'll get a better photo of those soon. 😊
We can't see much from the house, so...
We can't see much from the house, so we're watching live on the TV. I thought some of you might enjoy this balloon. According to the mayor it has a security detail of Stormtroopers and tons of other cosplayers nearby. 😁
(Pardon our boxes and cords and mess. We're still getting settled.)
This is a terrible photo, but...
This is a terrible photo, but the best I've been able to do so far. You'll probably have to zoom to see anything and that is with fingers crossed that Facebook doesn't destroy the image quality further.
I was hoping the balloons would be coming our way but that might not be the case. (Edit: Shaun just told me they're riding the Albuquerque Box Wind, so they're definitely staying near the mountain for now.) Balloon Fiesta lasts all week so I'll have a lot more opportunities to get closer photos, either from home or from a closer location to the launch. We just want to see what we can see from home first. And the day is still young, so who knows!
Sunrise over the Sandia Mountains.
Sunrise over the Sandia Mountains. These mountains are one of our favorite things about this place. There are balloons rising in front of the mountains as I type, but they are barely visible. Shaun counts 37 as of now.
Terribly zoomed-in photo where you can barely make them out in the fog:
