Have you ever taken your camera out for a stroll and accidentally come upon a party? Well, it happened to me while wandering The Mall in Washington, DC, approaching the Washington Monument.
What started as a couple of kites fluttering through the sky on a sunny, windy day quickly degenerated into a morass of people all trying to get kites into the air, lines crossing and wrapping around tree limbs. Kids practically being lifted off the ground by kites much too large.
It was as though a rainbow had exploded and rained down on the people below. Chaotic, but definitely spirit-lifting.

- Mom prepares her daughter, and the kite, to take flight

-
- Short shorts goes for the long throw to get some air
-
- Mom prepares to throw her cares to the breeze
-
- That more kites had not become entangled in the scaffolding around the Washington Monument was amazing
