Everything Aerial

~*Marge Tindal*~

In swoop of early morn they came
above the yard on grace of wing
Kites in aerobatic tracing
tethered not to string~

Aerodynamic dip and dive
Circling, circling in graceful ballet
No finer performance could be staged
than the aerial winging on this day~

Silent break in swoosh of air
as we watch in rapture, seeking more
Then as if on summoned cue
they return in encore~

*Bill and I were treated to an air-ballet
by the most beautiful flock of 11 Swallow-Tail Kites*
~AWESOME~

Marge:  An inspired write!  They must have been a beautiful sight.  Struck me as strange, because a couple of weeks ago we had turkey buzzrds soaring over our place. They are ugly on the ground but in flight they really are a wonderful  sight. Their wings and feathers are really pretty from down below with the sun shining on them. We have never seen them like that in all the years we've lived here.  There were nine of them. Now you have seen kites doing the same thing.  Glad you had that experience.

LOL @ those 'buzzards' ...
They are soooooooooooo 'ground-ugly'
Glad you got to see them flying~
Cause they ain't purty up close!

The Kites continue their daily aerobatics and are just so beautifully graceful~
We live close to the St. Johns River and I think they glide in from over there~
AWESOME~
