One of my favorite pastimes as a child...kite flying...although I never got to do it into an ocean breeze as did these lucky youngsters! And, no, I didn't wait to see the inevitable tangle :) Portsmouth, NH. :)PJ

Those three kites are also destined for the Bermuda Triangle for kites. The colors are so great. You make me high with this beautiful photo. I feel like I am floating. Have a good day and it is ok to be a kid again. They are so cool as you are.

This is truly lovely. The deep blue sky really makes those kites stand out so well. It also brings back nice memories of flying kites with my children when they were young, and even further back still trying to make a kite out of brown paper string and canes!!
