Kitefest Blue Kite

I really liked this big blue parachute-sized kite. It had these big windsocks that trailed it. When they launched it, the tails snaked around behind it in a wonderfully hypnotic way. Kitefest is held in January on frozen Lake Harriet. This is truly making lemonade out of lemons; this whole city is either lakes or forested parks, it's really hard to find a place to fly a kite in the summer, but in the winter, it's all treeless, perfectly level parks. Windy, windy parks.

Kitefest on Lake Harriet

Are you my Mummy? The wind was almost non-existent and the kites would occasionally float down to the ground. A bad day for kite fliers, but a good day for kids and clever photographers.

Bike Trail Around Lake Harriet

I love the trail on the south end of Lake Harriet, it's a tunnel of trees and when everything is green, it a beautiful ride.

Lily pads float softly upon the sky's reflection. My favorite rest area of the western city trails. This Month's City Photo Blogs' theme is Reflections." Click here to view thumbnails for all participants
