ONE SKY ONE WORLD

It was a crisp, bright sunny day with 12-15 mph winds gusting to over 20 mph. We just couldn't have had a better day here in Chico for "One Sky One World." Fellow kiteflier Jim Stainback and I managed to put nine kites up for the day.

I got a chuckle from what happened while I was walking around the field taking pictures. At one point I was standing next to a grandma & her grandson; they were watching the kites fly. She saw me, turned to her grandson and said, "Oh! There's The Kiteman!" I must admit, I've never been described that way (I've certainly been called far worse).
