Go Fly a Kite ...

Today's photo, from the WPC Resource Conservation archives, shows a kite taking flight at Presque Isle in Erie, Pa. March and April are generally regarded as the best months for kite flying, and Sunset Point on Presque Isle is thought by many to be one of the best places in Pennsylvania to take part in this sport. If you can't drive to Erie but would like to test out your kite flying skills, seek out an open meadow away from kite predators like electrical wires and trees.

If you plan to try your hand at flying a kite, the National Kite Month website offers its "Ten Commandments of Kite Flying"
