The kite #7

Today I fly my kite.
Just leaning out of my window. Freedom is to be tied by such a fragile thread.

[Taffy]

Ah...thinking of being outside does seem dreamlike at the moment.

[Claes]

I just spoke with my mother who is 83 and isolated and a little confused about everything - she could use a metaphorical kite flight

[Graeme Stevens]

This a fab series - we're in the fairly early days of our lock down here, both Mrs S and I are able to work from home so it dulls the pain somewhat...stay safe and well good sir.

[David]

Good you can get some escape with your kite! Fav

[Walks @ 7]

I am enjoying this series a great deal. The last line about freedom is spot on perfect- I've added it to my quote collection, hope you don't mind.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@taffy indeed. And we can’t envisage what is expecting us out there after the storm.
@runner365 My mum is 82, and she lives far from Rome. It is so difficult for them to accept isolation. I wish I could lend your mother my kite...
@graemestevens Thank you, Graeme. Yes, being together is a comfort, I believe we (I, Mrs. D. and Ms. D.) are close to reaching the longest period staying in the same place all day long in our life!
@lostphojo Thank you very much!
@joysabin Thank you so much... Sure I don’t mind, I’m humbled: it’s mine, not a third party quote... 😊

[Caterina]

So true. Fav

@graemestevens and Domenico: I read that in Cina, after two months of lockdown, the rate of divorce increased by 30%. 😱

[Graeme Stevens]

@caterina @domenicododaro Mrs S and I have been together since we were 16 - if we can do that we can do this!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@caterina Thank you so much! And, yes, lawyers have a right to survive, don’t they? And yes, there are boycotters like @graemestevens ...

[Peter Dulis]

Clever - love this little series of yours - fav

[Helen Sanderson]

wonderful image...very impressive

[Ukandie!]

Made me smile! I have thoughts of running through our local park with a kite, but alas my flight flying skills are as lacking as my ps skills, so will just dream it instead!

[Jocasta]

Love this series - such fantastic storytelling

[Jane Pittenger]

I like coming along on your fantasies

[bkb in the city]

Well done

[Domenico Dodaro]

@pdulis Thank you very much!
@hrs Thanks a lot!
@ukandie1 I’ve lost tens of kites when I was a kid...
@jocasta Thank you very much, appreciate your comment.
@jgpittenger Thank you very much, glad to share them!
@bkbinthecity Thank you a lot, Brian!

[gloria jones]

Nicely done :)

[Chris Johnson]

The perspective is perfect and so appealing. The kite is ready to just pull you out. You understanding of angles and height even on a 2D plane is impressive!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@seattlite Thank you very much!
@cjphoto Thank you, Chris, much appreciated!

[Margo Sayer]

Kite is a bird, much in evidence before it became a rite of passage to elsewhere. My elder brother had one...so I had one too as a teenager...and 'crashed' it much and often. A passage to maturity...and am still enjoying the journey ;-)

Go gently without fear....

[Krista Marson]

So whimsical 😊

[Helen Jane]

May that thread hold fast. I so love the idea of kite flying in these times. Such a rich means of expressing so well what so many of us are going through.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@s4sayer I do, indeed, still enjoy flying a kite: I hope I’ll have a grandson or granddaughter sooner or later, to restart building kites and flying them with her/him.
@blueberry1222 Thanks a lot!
@helenhall Thank you very much, Helen.
