Caught a lovely scene with kites cross crossing the sky against a beautiful sky and treeline. The seemed so foreign to the sky and i nearly cropped them out but it made for a lovely distraction as they glided back and forth into the frame I decided they had to stay!. Apparently the kite is an ancient device that is believed to have been invented in China by two philosophers in the fifth century B.C. named Mo Di and Luc Ban.
Aquiloni
"I figli sono come gli aquiloni. Arriva il giorno in cui si innalzano e tu devi insegnare loro a volare, tenendoli con quel filo esile che si dipana dalle tue mani. Possono cadere a terra più volte e tu dovrai ripararli e innalzarli ancora nel vento. Ti chiederanno sempre più spago e per ogni metro che si dipanerà dalle tue mani, il tuo cuore si riempirà di gioia e di tristezza. Via via che l’aquilone si allontanerà , avvertirai che il filo che ti unisce a lui prima o poi si spezzerà e lo vedrai volare libero e solo nel cielo della vita. In quel momento ti renderai conto di aver assolto il tuo compito di genitore e ti augurerai che il vento sia sempre propizio."
Romano Battaglia, Un cuore pulito, 2001

Uttarayan is a festival that’s synonymous with kite flying. Every year on 14th January entire families gather together on the terraces, roofs or any other part of their house exposed to the sky.
It is a magical feeling, seeing the entire city engaged in the same sport, the sky covered in tiny colourful specs of kites.
A quiet afternoon on Pusuaari,
where time moves with the tide
and kites trace memories into the sky.
There’s something sacred in the stillness,
something soft in the way the horizon holds you.
the place: Pusuaari - Bisous Island
Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country. ~ Anais Nin

Happy Family Day 2023!
"In most provinces of Canada, the third Monday in February is observed as a regional statutory holiday, typically known in general as Family Day (French: Jour de la famille)—though some provinces use their own names, as they celebrate the day for different reasons. The third Monday of February is observed as "Family Day" in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia (BC), New Brunswick, Ontario, and Saskatchewan; as Louis Riel Day in Manitoba; as Nova Scotia Heritage Day in Nova Scotia; and as Islander Day in Prince Edward Island."

This was taken on the back lawn of Pinewood Estate, Lake Wales. There's a slight grade to the lawn and this little girl was just having a blast running up and down, flying her kite.
Happy Gorgeous Green Thursday!

Toute la Ville sur le toit, Ahmedabad, Inde
Uttarayan est un festival de cerf-volants en Inde. Tous les 14 janvier, des familles entières se réunissent sur les terrasses et les toits de leur maison exposée au ciel. C'est un sentiment magique de voir toute la ville engagée dans une même activité, le ciel ainsi couvert de minuscules confettis colorés que forment les cerfs-volants.
