Today I bring you bright, beautiful, colorful fish that made me happy as the wind gave them motion and life.
I hope they do the same for you.
To find out more about kite flying in Omaha or to see more photographs of kites visit omahakites.org or omahakites.com. They are good people!
I seldom post multiple parts to a photo challenge but Sunday was so rich with images I can’t resist and splitting them up into several blogs is kinder to your sensory intake.
This particular kind of kite is called a Bol and it is truly poetry in motion.
We were big eyed boys
With the salt on our skin
And we’d throw our kites to the wind
And they’d fly on and on and on and on
“Circles”….Passenger
To see more kites in motion visit the Midwest Kite Fliers page here. They’re flying again this coming weekend in LaVista, Nebraska. You can also learn more about kite flying by visiting Jeff Kuhns here.
Sometimes you just have to turn the car around and seize the moment.
My husband and I were on our way home from church Sunday morning when we noticed kites in the sky, their color and motion giving life to otherwise invisible wind.
I’d forgotten how wonderful it is to get lost in the joy of swirling color, air currents and movement.
My thanks to Jeff Kuhns (omahakites.com) for sharing his art with a passerby. He was kind enough to tell me about a kite festival in a nearby community later in the day, so there will be multiple posts this week relating to motion and kites. Stay tuned!
