As the weather improved the spring breakers, all finally showed up. Rather than show photos of humanity at its worst, I thought I would concentrate on the more attractive side of crowds. I decided to show you some of the kites that have been flying over the beach.
The first photo is of the store where the kites are born.
Here is a selection of some of their kites, flags, and windsocks.
This one looks like an airplane
I happen to catch a guy in a powered kite.
This one has an alien look to it.
This one looks like a shark swimming in the wind.
Here is a very colorful one
I liked this collection. The jellyfish was very attractive
Here is a shot of a flamingo in flight
A butterfly
A hurricane, margarita, palm tree and bird in flight
And finally a beautiful parrot
I hope you have enjoyed these views. Sorry, this post was a little late today. Hope you have a beautiful Sunday.
Great looking against a proper sky. Were they all single-stringers, or were there any two-stringed stunt kites?

There was one stunt kite but I couldn’t get a proper shot. It was too fast for my camera. 🙂

These are beautiful John. Great photos and so much better than the great drunken hoard or some kid tossing his cookies in the storm sewer.
