Galveston Island, Texas

Beach Kites - A cropped telephoto shot. Better in Original Size.
Just over the sand dunes lies the Gulf of Mexico.
Tom asked me where I wanted to eat for my Birthday (back on the 25th) and I told him I wanted to eat in Galveston.
We didn't go to the beach although it was a Beautiful 80 degree day. We walked around the Strand and then Moody Gardens.
Lots of tourists on the Island, we call them Winter Texans. I heard every language imaginable.

Beautiful capture Lynn! I love the colorful, free-floating kites! BV
LOL ~ I know a German family that were in Galveston at the end of October. We had dinner with them before they flew down to Galveston the following day!

I like the layered feeling to this image, and those kites in flight are marvelous. V.

How wonderful. I've never seen so many kites in one spot at one time.
