Reminds me of when I am camping and I stare into the fire and lose myself in my thoughts. Wonderful

@Lost Valley: I've had many night like that too LV - memories galore - the sounds of sugar gliders and greater gliders thumping into the trees and the powerful owl hooting low! Thanks for your visit!

Aayawa from Edinburgh, United Kingdom
I like this one. It made me think of an old fashioned Christmas.
Difficult to take I imagine.

@Aayawa: Thanks Aayawa - It's interesting, Christmas is mid summer here and fire has a different more uncomfortable meaning. However in winter we love its delightful warmth! It wasn't difficult to take - we have a slow combustion stove which I set with Eucalyptus twigs- I left the door open and got quite close as it wasn't very hot at this stage! I'm glad you like it! cheers Bron
