Early morning
Cheers
Sharing a camp fire with friends
Relaxing
Zzzzzzzz
Sunset
The joy of camping is one of my “happy places“. Waking up to the early morning sun filtering through the trees. Exploring new places. Then at the end of the day setting up camp , sharing meals under the stars with new friends or relaxing in a hammock. Then watching the many beautiful sunsets.
My idea of heaven…
Memories are made of this 
yes, I can see why this camping is a slice heaven to you – 🙂
G’day Yvette, nice to hear from you. Yes those were the days, I miss it now we have sold Matilda…How are you?
These photos look so lovely and peaceful, Pauline 😀
Happy days Dianne…
I couldn’t agree more! Love your early morning photo, too – it really captures the outdoor serenity 🙂
Thank you for dropping by and leaving a comment. Being out in natural settings is good for the soul.
I have to agree with you. It has been years since I’ve done much camping but I used to love it. When I was a kid, my family camped a lot during the summers in Minnesota. We had a huge blue tent and my dad always wanted to stay at places that were not full during the week. There was nothing quite like laying on the gravel road of the camp ground to try to find satellites moving across the milky way or hearing the loons on the lake when everything else was silent.
What incredibly beautiful memories you have of your camping days Marie. Being part of nature is a great way to have a holiday. Thank you for sharing these memories.
Thanks, made me a bit nostalgic for a while.
🙂
I can see why you would miss Matilda, she’s a beauty and I’d love one just like her, then in an ideal world, sigh, I’d drive to Cape Town! 🙂
I’ll be your navigator!!!!!
We all have our dreams Gilly. I still miss her, but I do enjoy the house sitting we are doing now.
Lovely photos to reflect your happy camping. Like the hammock.
But don’t you find hammocks are so darn difficult to get in and out of? Many a time I have landed flat on my face 😉
Well Jude practice does make perfect and we had it down to a fine art… 🙂
We always looked for appropriate trees in the camping areas so we could put the hammocks up.
I’d love a little camper van like Mathilda too, though I do like a comfy bed. Not sure I could do basic camping now, but I love the idea of the freedom it gives you. I can see why this would be your ‘happy’
The bed in Matilda was SOOOO comfy, nice and firm and went from side to side so I couldn’t fall out. I don’t think I could sleep on the ground any more, just getting up each morning would be a struggle… 😦
Sounds like bliss!
Sounds great! You captured the sun filter beautifully
That was one of my favourite camping moments.
Married 43 happy years to wife, camper and boat. Boat and camper are gone, glad some happy remains.
Loved this comment. Pleased you still have the main happiness factor in your life…
Like Jude, I can see why this would be your ‘happy’….I used to love camping and the freedom it gave, but don’t have the energy to do that sort of thing now!
Getting up off the ground first thing in the morning is more of a challenge now~~~
