quote DeterminedOrange: "Was the rock furniture (in background) there then? Someone worked pretty hard on that."
I came back from fishing and two of my boys had done that. I thought about objecting, but the chair was kinda comfy and the view was great :) Besides that, I figured if they were tough enough to get it there....I didn't want to piss them off.

quote pswith5: "Hey KY= How were those little lobsters?? Did you get enough for a fair snack?"
They were good. I'll be doing it again. We had 6 guys eating on about 40 of em. Not really anything to fill the belly, actually it was an after diner leisure activity. I had been meaning to try this for years and finally did it. We put fish parts in a fishing net and let it sit in the water for 15-20 min at a time and when you went back there were 5-10 in the net each time. cooked them up and ate them with the evening libations. I liked them, could of used some butter though.

I snapped this of two of my brothers on Jap Lake's NW camp #492 after playing with the shutter speed/aperture a bit. In the last moments of daylight Brevan is reflecting on the blown down/burned skyline in the background. Darien is making sure his headlamp is ready for the darkness. We were fortunate to have been able to have a fire due to restrictions.

quote HowardSprague: "Really enjoying this photo contest thread. Bapabear, yours blows up real nice for a desktop background, hope you don't mind!"
Don't mind at all. That was a particularly cold and rainy day. I'll never forget my friend, John, standing next to fire to dry out/warm up and the steam was rolling off his boots. It's a good memory for me.

I know it is a dark picture, but this is Clove Lake with my buddy Zac tending the flame. Whenever I am out camping with him, he is always the last up, stroking the fire. This image is what pops into my mind whenever I think of a campfire; someone leaning over it, getting it brighter, while the darkness hugs us all.

Nice shots all! Makes me wanna head outside and light one up right now. Such a fun time of day when the work is done, and something mesmerizing about the flames. Thanks for sharing.
