Dancing Flames


The flames of the campfire seem to dance
to the symphony of night sounds.

Gizmo watches the flames from a safe
distance, while snuggled in a blanket.

I just spent four lovely days (with the exception of a nasty thunderstorm one night) at a very picturesque and peaceful place called Morrow Mountain State Park. It is quiet, clean and a great place to relax and of course take some pictures. I had my little dog, Gizmo with me and she is a lot like a clingy two-year old even though she is an eleven year old Rat Terrier. She managed to break her leash but didn't get far. I sat on the picnic bench and she got the comfy chair with a warm blanket to snuggle up in. We both seemed to be mesmerized by the campfire. The flames danced and crackled and it sounded like a symphony with the crickets and the peeper frogs in the background. It was a nice evening. Next time I'll bring marshmallows.
