Balloons

Chattanooga RiverRocks Festival is happening right now. There are about 100 outdoor activities planned throughout the city over 10 days. One of the activities was the hot air balloon glow. This was going on during Wine over Water (which is also a part of the festival). There will be more of the hot air balloons next Sunday and I hope to get some closer pictures. Click on the link above to visit the festival's homepage. If you're in the area, it's a great time to visit and play outdoors!

Wine Over Water 2012

We attended Wine Over Water last night, which is a tasting event benefiting Cornerstones for Historic Preservation in Chattanooga. I am not sure of the actual attendance, but you can see from the photo that there were quite a few people. There were 46 tents set up on the Walnut Street bridge, mostly offering wine,  but a few local restaurants had food as well. Fun time!

Water Paints

The lights along the riverfront walks have been turned a pinkish red. I am guessing it is for breast cancer awareness month. Whatever the reason, they create great reflections on the water.

New Lights

The lights on the aquarium were damaged during a hail storm earlier this year. Last night they lit up the replacements. I had hoped there would be more of the outline, but it still looks pretty good. They change colors too, from blue to purple to orange.

L is for Lookouts

The Lookouts are our local Minor League Baseball team, affiliated with the LA Dodgers.

Poison Ivy

Most of the trees are still green, but there are bright patches where the poison ivy has turned already.

October Theme Day: Silhouette

I cheated a bit on my entry for this month's theme day. I am using one of my vacation photos from Mackinaw City, Michigan. This is one of the fabulous sunsets we saw while we were there in July. The Mackinaw Bridge at the top of the photo is the longest suspension bridge in America and the third longest in the world.
