This is our camp fire at our last Easter Camp, which we do every year as a family get-together. Open-air awesome fun for all ages.

Hello!
Nice selection but I agree with jpsilva206 the first and the second are my favorites. Have to admit I am partial to the first one. Really nice work and the framing is the cherry on the top of the cake

What a Wonderful Set Keenlearner!
The flowers are perfectly composed and crystal clear, as are the Swan and babies.
What a unique restaurant and I see your little Camper and car in front. I sure like that little rig!
You nailed the Camp fire! it looks really inviting.
Thanks for sharing the Simple things with us
Michael.

Thankyou for you kind comments Ecate. The Clematis is just coming into flower along my neighbours fence and when in full bloom, it is just a picture. May have to post another pic a wee bit later on.
