Today my daughters suggested that I add more color to my blog.  According to them, all the black and white photos that I post would be more “pretty” if they were in color.  So in an attempt to add a little color to BEYOND THE MESAS, and to make the overall appearence of my blog more “pretty,” I have posted a (daughter approved) photograph that I took of a hot air balloon that recently flew over our house.  For those who might be interested, I was using a Nikon D60 with a 70-300mm Nikkor lens.
