I remember my dad would work long night shifts and have to sleep during the day and we wouldnt be able to spend much daytime together.
Sometimes he would take me to the park before work in the late fall when the time would change and there would still be some light to play by.
He would fly this gull winged kite and get it really high in the air then let me hold the string.
The dusky light and cool fall temperatures mixed with my unending energy of youth running beside my dad as he made magic just for me

You both did that without doing a "risk analysis" and wearing hard hats and goggles? :lol:
Two fascinating pics. The Dodgems just so sums up the whole experience, minus the homicidal big kids.
That "Tyre Swan" is such a technically elegant piece of recycling. I have never seen that done in the UK. Was it fixed to the ground or did too much enthusiasm tip it over? The drawing is also very good, it indicated exactly how it was made.

Hi Phil- I think they were sometimes fixed in with a peg or similar and others just sat, but lots of the ones i knew were put over the water meter (the one with a ticker to say how much you used) in the front yard and the act of sitting over that held them in place or other times people had soil in them and grew a plant too..a fern coming out between the wings
