They are beautiful and so relaxing to fly. Flying a kite is one of those activities that afford us the opportunity to enjoy some un-hurried time. It was fun to see the next 'pose' your camera would find Mr.R in. I watched your MAX video, and I miss him, he was such a sweetheart.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471639876072617577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339087872750174307.post-12696387720406880002011-01-19T18:07:29.957+02:002011-01-19T18:07:29.957+02:00When mum was a good bit younger, she had a Peter P...When mum was a good bit younger, she had a Peter Powell stunter which she adored. Recently she bought a kite in the shape of a mythical beast at a jumble just because it was so lovely. <br />But we must say that those are the most beautiful kites we have ever seen both in design and colour. Extraordinary! Mum can't take her eyes off them! Not good for kite flying, where we are now, though. Too many thorny bushes and cacti.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172029625828982319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339087872750174307.post-4671453962802118802011-01-19T12:05:12.557+02:002011-01-19T12:05:12.557+02:00Our Dad has a stunt-kite.

Mom bought it for his birthday a few years ago, and he loves it. <br /><br />Because we live by the sea, Dad takes it up on to the cliffs where the wind can be awesome, and he makes it twist and turn and perform tricks in the air.<br /><br />One day it blew over the cliff and got caught in a tree ~ and to mom's horror, Dad climbed over the top of the cliff (very dangerous)to retrieve it. Mom held her breath the whole time he was out of sight ~ and when he came back she told him off big-time!!!Milo and Alfie Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968891408866473634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339087872750174307.post-26362092029605499172011-01-19T08:13:46.918+02:002011-01-19T08:13:46.918+02:00Kite flying is most fun - so A says, I wouldn'...Kite flying is most fun - so A says, I wouldn't know I would fly with the kite if I tried.

I don't think I took very good care of them though so they never lasted long. <br /><br />I do have a big butterfly one hanging from the ceiling in my girlie room.<br /><br />We used to have a kite day in town here where people would come out and fly their kites. There would be prizes given for the most original one, the one that flew the highest, the biggest one, the smallest one, etc. Sometimes I'd go and watch but I never participated.<br /><br />Mr. R looks like he's having fun!<br /><br />Oh yes - blogger! It gives me trouble on occasion too. Sometimes it won't publish a post when it's supposed to.

When she and dad first met (almost 25 years ago) they sometimes would take a kite to a park for a lazy Sunday afternoon, and lie on their backs on the grass and watch their kites fly. It was very relaxing! <br /><br />Over the years they’ve tried little ones, children’s teddy bear ones, Chinese kites, box kites, stunt kites, they have a fishing kite (for catching fish) and dad even tried a huge “kite surfing” one briefly. When they go on holiday to the beach they take a couple of small kites with them, and if I’m with them I sit in a shady spot and watch. <br /><br />Your post has just reminded mum she has two kite making books on her bookshelf (from many years ago when they tried making thier own kites before life got too busy). There are lots of fun designs in the books and after reading your post again she is going to have another look (or see what is now on the internet) and maybe try making one again.The Life of Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042517508689233894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339087872750174307.post-30320312521854846172011-01-18T20:32:43.082+02:002011-01-18T20:32:43.082+02:00Love these pictures.

Knowing no-one, feeling a bit alone in a very unfamiliar culture. A colleague tells me that he and a bunch of friends are meeting up to fly kites that evening and would I like to come along. Fresh from London, where an evening's entertainment might be, say, a trip to the National Theatre, I try to suppress my surprise, and agree to tag along. I meet a lovely, friendly bunch of Americans, including one who became a highly valued friend, and over the last 20 yeas we have travelled together in Europe, Australia, USA and Canada, and my life has been immeasurably enriched by that friendship. I am so glad I accepted the kind invitation to go kite flying all those years ago! <br />Cheers,<br />Gail.WFT Nobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315143664245246248noreply@blogger.com
