Lets go fly a kite

Went down to Mudeford Quay this evening with the boss. Lots of activity down there with holiday makers fishing , crabbing , boats in and out . Caught this chap having great fun with his kite. Maybe not the clearest photo but think it captures the evening

Four days to the weekend !!


The Kite
by Harry Behn

How bright on the blue
Is a kite when it's new!

With a dive and a dip
It snaps its tail
Then soars like a ship
With only a sail

As over tides
Of wind it rides,

Climbs to the crest
Of a gust and pulls,
Then seems to rest
As wind falls.

When string goes slack
You wind it back

And run until
A new breeze blows
And its wings fill
And up it goes!

How bright on the blue
Is a kite when it's new!

But a raggeder thing
You never will see
When it flaps on a string
In the top of a tree.
