Love the kite shots! Interesting perspective and really cool looking bird.

Thanks everyone, comments appreciated.
The kite image , I'd waited all afternoon for this shot, hoping he/she would fly down against the tree background.

It was worth waiting for.

Those kites are so beautiful. They have a lot of color and a great pattern. They seem to like to pose too. :)
