a little colour in the skies...

not ideal weather conditions for kite flying last weekend,
but a few kites managed to fly at the 2016 Kite Festival on the Rosebud foreshore...

a sky of kites...

Skies last Saturday when kite fliers were giving their kites a test run
before the Kite Festival itself on Sunday on Rosebud foreshore...

The kites were preparing for last weekend's annual Kite Festival on the Rosebud foreshore...

K is for kites...

K is for kites...
(Continuing my series on the Mornington Peninsula)

Recently, the Mornington Peninsula celebrated the annual Kite Festival on the Rosebud foreshore on Port Phillip Bay.
The day of the main festival - Sunday - drew huge crowds on a hot day, but there was little wind.
(Fortunately, there were many other attractions for the huge crowd!)


The best viewing of the kites was on the Saturday - when the kite flyers were practising and there were few people.



Colours in flight
Like toys flying freely
Magic moments
