Play

Kite flying and bike riding are a great way to merge play and exercise.
This photo was taken earlier this year on the Rosebud foreshore.

play
nourishes the mind with
happiness



And this is an invitation to play with fantasy and fun - at the Hastings festival earlier this year.

Alien

At the last March Kite Festival on the Rosebud foreshore, many local businesses took the opportunity to advertise and to dress up in line with their business.
This one, Aliens, had a few people wandering around in lime green + antennas.
But I loved this sign with its comments on love and pain.


A zany sign board
Sells new thoughts on love and pain
Fitness with a twist

Am I Still Yesterday?

Kite flying in the Rosebud Kite Festival held in March on the Mornington Peninsula each year.


Wings change tone and balance
Challenge
When Summer colours find Autumn

Midway in life's journey
Crossroads
Yesterday's child finds the mirror

Limping on wind-strummed threads
Connected mirrors of blue dreams

Flighty cameo space

The Couch Potatoes

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A sign on a stall at the Kite Festival, Rosebud foreshore, Mornington Peninsula.
Just as I was taking this photo, a boy raced past flying his kite! So the "S" is almost obscured.
The stall was still being set up . In a short time, crowds of people obscured the sign altogether!
