There is something about a fire outdoors

When I used to go camping all the time, I always had a campfire going. It keeps you warm and is good for cooking. This fire was made by my father and nephew while we were out at a retreat in Indiana. I love watching fires burn. Hope you enjoy!

I always love a fire. Had lots of campfires with my father and brothers in our yard and at camp.

I also love to watch a fire, we are going to light the fireplace for Christmas (it's a real one, that burns wooden logs).

@DocAndersen The colder days should come from the 27th, but I like the fireplace on during the Christmas dinner.

We're not allowed to have outdoor fires here, it's way too dry and often windy where even a tiny spark could cause a lot of trouble. But I do like fire, I'll just burn candles indoors where there's little chance of a breeze.

I like controlled indoor fires @DocAndersen round here there's always that problem of a wind kicking up which can turn a fun campfire into a brush fire.

You are so right about campfires. There really is something special about them. I guess they appeal to the primitive side of us.

@DocAndersen I see the logs burning but what is the brown and black thing in the fire? Is it a snake?

@DocAndersen It looks like it could be a snake to me. I am glad it is not a snake.
