A very good day to fly a kite!
The view around 1:15 pm.
Cherry trees in full bloom, too.
A close-up of my kite, with some line laundry.
My kite is not quite 9 feet across.
Shadow of jet contrail.
Way up high, almost straight overhead. I have 600 feet of 110 pound line.
Busy, busy!
One of the coolest kites of the day.
Stacy...
...and her kite.
My nemesis, a turtle. We crossed and tangled lines.
Action photo!
Wind stopped. Kite dropping fast. Frantic reeling. This is the look of near-panic.
Whew, another successful recovery.
Rescuing my nemesis's kite from street traffic, runaway strollers, and certain death!
Nemesis turns out to be a very nice person. People all around cheered that I'd saved the turtle.
Proud of his kite!
That's not a kite.
This was a very cool kite. Several views follow.
Crowded skies around 2:30 pm.
Mermaids aloft!
Another person had a kite just like mine, but with three whirly tails.
My kite. The line laundry is 100 feet long.
Find the jet?

A nice view of my kite.
Teaching someone how best to get her kite up.
It's tough to get turtles to fly.
Me being filmed by a friendly ABC news cameraman. He really liked my kite. I really liked his camera.
Dropping like a stone around 4:30 pm. The kite on the left must've had a thousand foot line. My 600 feet wasn't quite enough to keep aloft.
Camera man and eagle boy.
The sled kite at center was the largest kite I've ever seen. At least 20 feet across.
