Kites - 23 October 2022

Jan Juc Primary School
Annual Fundraiser
A Kite Festival

Perfect day
Windy, warm
Families crowd onto the lawn
Above Fisherman's Beach

Prams, dogs, wheelchairs
Giggling youngsters
Parents saying, "Look up!"
Cameras capture glee

Big blue whale
Wafting
Above several sharks out of water
A scuba diver twirling below

Knots and nylon twine
Fluttering ribbons and tails
Happy kids everywhere
Mums, Dads holding tight
A plethora of little diamonds
Soaring
Brilliant colours glint in grey skies

A giant octopus
Two Tiger Moths; pilots adrift
Like astronauts, space walking
A prancing purple tailed horse
A dazzlingly intricate, spinning snake

And several beautiful butterflies
