Air balloon festival – Plano
This is a seasonal festival that happens around September in Plano. The balloons are display were amazing and there was an orchestra playing some of the popular tunes. When the sun went down, every balloon owner started lighting these balloons to be in tune with the orchestra music. It was awesome to look at and a great experience to witness them. Some captures from the event here..

Bald Eagle @ White Rock Lake Dallas
You normally do not get to see bald eagles in Dallas area. I heard about these two eagles – Nick and Nora trying to set up nest here in this park last year but unfortunately the nest broke, and they flew away. They were spotted again this year and the news was that they are trying to rebuild the nest this year again.
I started scouting the lake area to spot them, but it was not easy. With the help from few of my fellow photogs, I was fortunate enough to locate them and grab a couple of shots. Here are some of those
