When I was taking my pictures at the park a few days ago I saw someone flying a kite. There was quite a breeze, so it was perfect kite weather. Do you like to fly kites? Did you ever fly a kite? If so, do you prefer the simple kites or the stunt kites that have more than one string?How long has it been since you've flown a kite?
I haven't actually flown a kite since I was a child. I didn't often have much success in getting it into the air. How about you?

May be as a kid I would have. Here in India there are kite festivals and even celebrities are seen in those events.

@bagarad There are no events where I live and no one flies kites in my circle I cannot possibly be seen on my terrace flying a kite solo (lol)

@bagarad She certainly would if there was no one around and she was there doing it all alone

So if you saw @allknowing flying a kite on her terrace, would you consider her undignified?

Its been over 20 years now. I taught the boys how to do it when they were growing up. But that is the last time.

@JohnRoberts Makes sense. I didn't think of that.

It has been windy here to. So it is perfect kite weather here to.
I used to fly kites with all of my kids.

Your post reminds me that I have a kite my son gave me as a gift and I only flew it once. Time to take it out again and this may be a good weekend for it.

Good for you. I'm sure the grandchildren enjoyed it, too. Maybe someday I'll try it again and see if I can get it off the ground on a windy day. Just to show @allknowing I don't care what people think. Maybe I can find some child in the park to show me how it's done. On the other hand, getting a kite would just be one more thing cluttering up the garage -- if it survived my trying to fly it. There are lots of kite-eating trees in the park.

Every time I have flown a kite I have had a bad experience. I remember my stepbrother having to run a mile into someone's backyard to get a kite my half-brother lost. It was crazy.
