My World Tuesday - Those Flying Machines

The annual hot air balloon and wine festival was held this weekend in Temecula, California. It was a 75 mile drive for me. I've always wanted to go and this was the first year that I actually found out about it in time. Still, I debated on going because the pocket strings ore really tight. I decided last minute to go. I was really hoping to catch the hot air balloons. I didn't really care about the wine.


Imagine my disappointment when I finally get there and there's not a hot air balloon in sight. I realize now that they were only there in the the morning for morning flights. It's possible they were there all day Saturday but either way, I missed them all together.


Since I went alone and was my own designated driver, no drinking wine for me. Besides, what I noted was $8.00 a glass. I think some booths were giving samples but you had to find a glass. LOL! I just wanted to take pictures but I met a few creative people and then guess what I found! They had a motor cross stunt show and let me tell you I had a ball. Apparently these are the best guys and I called them the men on those flying machines because let me tell you, they were flying!!


These guys were amazing! The tricks they did on these bikes were... well, let me say my heart caught in my throat several times and I was just on the ground watching.


I have so many shots I want to share but I'll limit it to these and trust me, this is a few compared to how many shots I actually took.

I've never had much interest in motor cross before but it was so much fun catching these guys in the air and I was so impressed with their skills I may actually have to start looking for some motor cross events to attend.




There were maybe 6 or 8 of these guys and I wish I knew their names because my hat is off to them for a great show and balls of steel. LOL! These men on those flying machines were awesome!
