Start with a jumbled pile of color, string, and nylon.
Lay them out in a straight line.
Add wind and gently tease them into a standing position.
And then, increase tension in the control lines and - voila! - they are airborne.
To climb and dance.....
And dive and swirl......and make beautiful swooshing sounds. Kites are generally happy things - who doesn't like a kite? Who can see a kite and not remember some child-like glee at the memory of flying one, or building one, or seeing the string snap and watching the kite fade away into a tiny speck in the distance? Of course that last part probably wasn't a happy moment.........
