The pilot in the basket is using the propane burner to heat the air inside, which expands and makes the balloon rise to a vertical position and become fully inflated. There are crowds sitting on the grass watching.

Many people are looking up at the pilot balloon. "Before a hot air balloon flight, pilots release small, helium-filled balloons called pilot balloons (or piballs) to determine wind direction and speed at different altitudes, which is essential for flight planning, navigation, and choosing a safe landing site."

The balloon is in a purple bag on a cart with wheels, it is next to the basket.

People are getting the fabric of the balloon ready. They are in front of the fan they will use to blow it up before using the propane burner.

The balloon is partially blown up so you see the top of it, which has a witch and cat on a broom and a crescent moon. A mother and child are posing in front of it in witches hats and on brooms. Another child smiles as she walks past.

Getting ready!

A black, w a few colored stripes, hot air balloon floats over people, its shadow shows on the ground over some of the people. There are mountains and a clear blue sky in the background.

I like how the shadow hits in this pic.

As a colorful hot air balloon is blown up, the rope makes an indent to make it look the shape of a heart for a minute. The sky is blue with white clouds, there are many people on the grass and trees behind them.

Lucked out with perfect weather to watch the Hudson Valley Hot-Air Balloon Festival this weekend
