I play volleyball on a women’s 4s team on Sunday afternoons in Franklin. The past couple of Sundays when I’ve driven home I’ve seen a sight that never fails to make me smile: hot air balloons.

I don’t know what there is about them. The colors? Something about them being one of the first flying inventions? I don’t know.

All I know is when I see one (or, as has been the case the past few Sundays, several) dotted against a bright blue, late afternoon, fall sky…wonderful.

I stopped to snap a few pics of one coming down very near Cool Springs Mall.

The photo of the hot air balloon above was not the one coming down. I took this from my car while waiting for a red light.

The photos below are pics I snapped really quick while standing in the parking lot at Academy Sports.
