Color the Wind Kite Festival





Today is the annual "Color the Wind Kite Festival" in Clear Lake. They had to first move the festival due to the fact that at the sea wall where they were planning on holding it, there is no ice.  They moved it to one of the parks on the lake where the ice was still solid.  This enables the kiters to be out on the lake and away from power lines and trees...etc.   Today is 18 degrees with 25 mph winds---feeling like -2.  The wind got a little too much for the kites, so there were not as many.  I did take pictures because I think that this is so neat.  They have some that they "ski" behind, but they were doing that too far out to get a picture.  The big one on the bottom never went up.  It was 30-40 ft. long, but it was too windy to put it up.
