This weekend took me back to the Castles & Kites Celebration in Bodega Bay. I met up with Tersha, Vic and Brianna at the campsites on the beach at Doran Regional Park. Funny it was at this festival last year that Tersha debuted her new popup trailer and this year she’s debuting an even better new one and I’ve now got a trailer now too… my how things change in a year. Friday was a lazy day spent hanging around camp, chatting, playing games and watching wind surfers learn to windsurf in the harbor (where the water is only a foot or so deep at low tide). Saturday morning before the festival, we took a walk along the beach and I enjoyed photographing some sand textures. It was much windier this year than last, and it didn’t seem that as many kites were being flown as last year, but it was still a nice and relaxing weekend. At the end of the afternoon, while the wind may have been a bit much for kites, it was just right for a guy kite surfing in the bay. Definitely coming back again, I really do enjoy this weekend.
