THE JOY OF FLYING KITE

Our flying rendezvous is surrounded with trees in all directions. There are ancient acacia, coconut, some aroma, and right at the center is an Ilang-ilang. So, it really takes skill and bravado to fly your kite in the morning and bring it back home in one piece before sunset. There really are brutal days, when each of those trees decides to start decorating itself. The acacia usually takes the lion share, the lone Ilang-ilang also takes a fair share and so do the coconut trees nearby. The site is quite colorful. I enjoy looking at the dangling Christmas-like decor, especially knowing I have contributions to it.
