My friend and fellow photographer, Jeanine, invited me to fly a kite this Sunday afternoon. Little did I know it was going to be such a challenging event. Flying a kite is not an easy task. One must be able to adapt to the wind's direction because it changes constantly. It took many failed attempts until the kite finally was in the air. We were running in circles, hiking up and down hills, and waiting eagerly for the perfect wind. It was a rather pleasing feeling when kite finally steadily soared in the clear Tennessee sky. Watching the sunlight shine against the kite's colors made all the failed attempts worth it. 

 The weather was rather chilly. It was a windy day. The best way to stay warm for the ever-changing kite sailing weather is to dress in layers. I'm wearing a black-knitted sweater and scarf. Both these items compliment the black jacket. Together all three elements help the jacket look like a finished piece rather than three separate mixed-matched pieces. The pants are a fancy addition to this rather basic outfit. They craftily lead to the black ankle boots that tie the outfit together.  

All together it was a success. 

Fly a kite when you have free time, and do not let the failed attempts get you down. Stay above them because it's worth it.
