The pictures show a decorative kite that was brought back as a gift to a young family member by a close relative returning from travel in Asia. Kites are one of life's most joyful and delightful artifacts. The mere sight of a colorful kite might bring to mind breezy days of spring when there is time to pursue the task of getting a flying contraption up and wind driven. Perhaps the best kites will reach their true destiny released to the winds when the kite strings break, and the kite is freed to the sky. The decorative example in this post is a bit too beautiful and fragile for such an escapade. This purple butterfly serves instead as witness to both the pleasures and artistry found in these fanciful tributes to flight.
