Go fly a KITE!
When you think of playing outdoors in winter, you probably don't think of kites. But quite a few people were flying kites on the frozen ice over Cook's Bay last Sunday afternoon.
Practicing the art of KITE flying
Out on the bay you don't have to worry about your kite getting caught in tree limbs. And a few kite flyers were wearing short skis or snowboards and were enjoying a ride courtesy of the wind.

I'm impressed by the fact that ice is STRONG ENOUGH to carry people!..Great place to ,practice kite, yes, no trees around..
I liked your gulls yesterday!
Colourful kites against a light background. Very nice indeed!
Is the location Lake Simcoe?
it looks like winter there! What a great place to fly a kite!
This would be fun to see. Though it would be best seeing it from the inside with a fire blazing . . . )
What fun and the colors look great on a winter's day.
Love the mosaic on the previous post. MB
So pretty and fun!
Not something that comes to mind when I think of winter in Ontario, but it does look like fun.
Ah that is fantastic!!!
I'll watch from the shore, thank you very much! Just thinking about walking on ice after such a mild January gives me the shivers! OK, I'm a chicken, I know!
Oh my grands would LOVE this! Too many high lines& trees around here.
It would take a lot of convincing to get me to go out on frozen ice, but flying a kite and getting a ride from it does sound like fun.
It's great to see people flying kites ~ no matter what season!
That looks like so much fun! What wonderful shots!
I love to see kites flying up in the air. Never quite thought of flying them in cold weather though!
Actually, that does look like fun!
There is no end to some peoples ingenuity, great picture.
The fourth letter of the alphabet isn't working on my keyboar, so rea this carefully. My father use to make us kites out of the Lon(insert fourth letter)on Times. Such fun!!!
Yes, I would not have thought of kite flying as something to do in winter, but why not? Your nice shots show it's great fun even on ice!
I do not enjoy the cold, but kiting on ice might change my dislike in a hurry ... what a lot of fun that looks like!
That would be fun! I love all the bright colors.
Hi there - kite skiing looks like great fun!

Wow! This looks like fun and something I've not seen on our side of the lake.

Fun fun fun!
This looks like a lot of fun!
Looks like fun. Would never have thought of kite flying in the winter.

I am surprised! Only in the summer on flying a kite! But I love anything that is all year round!
these kites look nothing like the kites we had as children, what will they think of next
This area is certainly windy enough for kite-flying! Nice shots. :)
What a great way to enjoy some wintry sunshine!
That is even fun to watch !
I like to watch like that too..

This looks like a whole lot of fun!
Looks like it would be exhilarating!
We have enough ice here to do something like that....
brr...
Never thought of flying a kite on the ice. Sounds fun, and I'll bet you can really get it going!
=)
Great winter fun! I suppose you just make the best of the weather..but I just can't seem to appreciate the cold snowy winters..prefer sunshine and blue skies of Arizona.
a snow bird taking in the sunshine!
right now, in NZ, they do kite flying on the beach.
Amazing photos of those playing on the ice with their kites!
I'm in sunny florida and people are doing the same, but on the hot beach!
Nice post

I've got to admit that does look like fun...even for an old guy like me!
going for a ride on the wind sounds like lots of fun. I've always like kites, but haven't flown a lot... {:-Deb
Makes me think of the wind surfers I see out on the lakes around here. Think I'd try it with a pair of ice skates on:)
Best Fun ever!
It looks like fun, but I bet it's incredibly cold!
This is so neat...
Can you imagine being pulled by a Kite on an icy lake?
What a ride that would be!!!
Great post for the letter "K"...
Thanks for linking.
Wonderful job!
A+
