Baby agave.


At the car wash in Socorro are these beautiful Agave, no no they are not destined to become fruit of the drink, Tequila.


Post cards of the state have always had the splendor of color as is the beautiful state of New Mexico.


In bloom these plants seem to draw you to them. Sept 2007

UP, UP, AND AWAY IN MY BEAUTIFUL BALLOON

AT THE ANNUAL "SOCORRO BALLOON FESTIVAL"


"UP UP AND AWAY IN MY BEAUTIFUL BALLOON"



Up Up And Away

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly, we can fly

Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon










The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly we can fly

Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Suspended under a twilight canopy
We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hide us
We'll keep the moon beside us

Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly we can fly

Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
