12th Annual Kite Festival -South Padre Island, Tx

Remember when you use to fly a kite when you were a kid!  Well it seems to be a very big hobby down here in the south!  John and I (along with thousands of others :) got a glimpse of some of the great talent it takes to fly these magnificent works of art!


Part of the festival is made up of competitions.  These six kites were flown by six people and accompanied by music.  They were very exciting to watch.  Great talent indeed!







Rich Jabas comes to the beach most days to fly his kites.  Thanks for letting me photograph you!  We hope to see you there again soon Rich!
