What beautiful pictures!!! Thank you Tracy Press! We are 3rd Generation residents of Tracy and we appreciate the Tracy winds to fly our kites! ... written by LAM , March 26, 2008 Kites?! I love kites! I have 5 kites that I adore flying. Two are planes and they are very difficult to keep up. Half the time they crash and burn, so I just change the kite. Kite flying should not be considered a child's game. Depending on the wind, thinking and proper movements are needed to keep the kite flying. It is a good workout and I consider it therapy as well!!! I started flying my kites almost 2 months ago. I love my butterfly. ... written by amy , March 27, 2008 What a fabulous looking dragon kite!!!!! ... written by IMHO88 , March 29, 2008 I shall cease from cursing Tracy's demonic winds.
