Remember when you were a kid and used to love flying your kite?

A couple of weeks ago I bought my grownup adult child self a new kite. I have been flying it in the afternoon breeze coming in off the ocean at Morro Rock. Such a simple thing.

So anyway, then this happened.

The annual Kite Festival in Morro Bay CA.

From 75′ long Octopus kites…

to arrays of smaller kites…

to just plain crowded and colorful skies.

Sometimes you even get the feeling they may be watching you.

Benevolently I’m sure.
