Zilker Kite Festival II

IMG_0775

The Zilker Kite Festival was as crazy as ever!  The weather was a perfect overcast, cloudy, and windy day.  There were tons of people, dogs, kites everywhere, bubbles, a biplane buzzing by, food trucks, beverages, kettle corn, free ice water, t-shirt sales, and art.  I met the artist who submitted the design for the official t-shirt, Aileen Fitzgerald, and she was super nice.  I thought her artwork really captured the spirit of Austin.  All in all, it was a most successful Kite Festival.
