nia said she liked kites when she was little. I have a few hobbies and flying kites is one of them.
These are a few I have made from scratch, just lying on the grass in a no wind situation.
I get a little self satisfaction out of making my own (I do the sewing as well).
This weekend I shall be going to Washington UK., to fly them, among others that I have. Camera as well.
Weather forecast is for heavy showers. Typical.
Lumix LX5.

Thanks kind folks. I did not think anyone would be interested really, until nia mentioned it.
I have around 200. (how do you fly 200).... kind of the same with cameras/lenses.
The tutankamun was thought up after my trip to egypt, and the cat was a print on a tee-shirt which I converted.
We choose a few festivals to go to and take off for a few days or more. After the kite festival is over we may explore the countryside in the area. Sort of like caravanning but with something to do when you get there.

How I wished to be there too, but yes, I'll be waiting for your photos, I can't believe that they are 200!!!!! Who will make them fly and who will take the photos? I think there is kit festival also in Japan and in China too... Do you know the history of the origin for the kits,.... (but sorry for my English) once upon a time, a Chinese commader wants to measure the distance between the castle and the place where he wants to digg for a ditch. So he makes a kit and makes it fly and lets it down where it is above the place then he measures the rope of the kits... I heard this historical story but I am not sure is it right or not.
have a nice day,
with my love,
nia
