kites

Canada Goose kite at the cottage.


Many condolences to the friends and family of Iain Cain, who died a few days ago by his own hand. I never knew Iain well, but remember him as being friendly and gentle, full of good humour.

The photo above and below were taken at the cottage last week, when Jeff put together a Canada goose kite we picked up in Sedona. I was amazed at how real the thing looked when it was in the air, complete with wings that flapped in the wind.

There's something so magical about kites, isn't there? Flimsy bits of paper or plastic and wood suspended impossibly high, anchored to eager hands with a near-invisible strand.





Looking forward to visiting with Rand tomorrow.

Have a safe weekend, everyone.
