Kite Festival

No shortage of kite festivals up and down the coast during the summer months.  The Washington State International Kite Festival in Long Beach is one of the larger ones, encompassing two weekends in the week long festivities.  We headed to Long Beach on Saturday to enjoy the beach and the kites.  Beautiful weather in the 70s and the water was warm (relatively speaking).  The winds were out of the northeast that day, which really blanketed the entire western part of the state in smoke from all the fires still burning in central Washington.

That's a splendid picture capturing the energy and grace of the wind. I never had a kite as a child and don't remember any of my friends having them either. But I love to see them now.

This is just delightful. We loved watching kites whenever we visited Long Beach, WA. My dad always wanted to buy one but never got around to doing it.
