To fly a pipa…

…takes concentration and practice!

I saw these kids from next door learning to fly their pipa on Sunday. Their grandfather was vaguely supervising but was mostly happy to let them get on with it. I loved the looks of deep concentration on their faces!

Sadly, when you’re just starting out, accidents can happen…

The next day I went up on the roof and found the pipa caught on my tangerine tree!
