Kites






"Imagination is the highest kite one can fly"
Lauren Bacall (1924)

"Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country"
Anais Nin (1903-1977)

"The optimist pleasantly ponders how high his kite will fly; the pessimist woefully wonders how soon his kite will fall"
William Arthur Ward (1921–1994)

I love kites! And your photos are marvelous! I also love your quotes! Anais Nin is a favorite of mine and the quote by Lauren Bacall is so perfect! Enjoy your week, Pietro! Thanks for sharing the fun!

Bellissimi gli aquiloni Pietro, mi riportano alla mia infanzia quando insieme al mio papà e alle mie sorelle riuscimmo a farne volare in alto uno tutto colorato.

Un saluto Pietro e buon proseguimento di settimana!

Ciao Pietro, foto belle, come sempre, gli aquiloni mi piacciono molto, ne volevo prendere uno per il mio nipotino, ma c'erano le onde troppo alte:-)
Un cordiale saluto da Torino.

Ciao Pietro, buon fine settimana, in fondo questo clima, un pò piovigginoso di Torino mi piace:-) Spero però che si rassereni per gli amici che vanno in giro.
Un cordiale saluto.

Buon inizio settimana Pietro, come vedi abbiamo la temperatura ideale per andare in giro, peccato che per i "turisti" come me non ci siano mezzi pubblici gratuiti per i tour:-)

Grazie Pietro, ne ero al corrente, ma per come son fatta io dovrei fare da guida e non essere guidata:-) Torino la conosco abbastanza bene,però, in effetti vista con l'occhio del turista magari può essere divertente, ci farò un pensierino;-) Un cordiale buongiorno:-)
