Campfire

You can't go to a cottage without a bonfire at night, roasting marshmallows and a sing-a-long of old Campfire songs.:o)

The Happy Wanderer

I love to go a-wandering
Along the mountain track,
And as I go I love to sing,
My knapsack on my back.

CHORUS
Valderi, Valdera, Valderi,
Valdera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Valderi, Valdera,
My Knapsack on my back.

I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun.
So joyously it calls to me:
Come join my happy song.

I wave my hat to all I meet
And they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet,
From every greenwood tree.

High overhead the skylarks wing,
They never rest at home,
But just like me they love to sing,
As o'er the world we roam.

Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die.
And may I always laugh and sing,
Beneath God's clear blue sky.

Trying to find the Flame Fairies ~ :o)

Spectacular capture. I love the upper left corner which gives this particular camp fire a home. A home that collects many a campfire I have known and enjoyed. Thank you. VVV

The only time I spent infront of a campfire is during my young school days when I was a Boy Scout. Probably had sung the same song too. A nice capture, almost can feel the heat from here. And thanks for the memory, Carol ~V~

That is some fire.
Looks as if I'll need a longer stick for my marshmallows.
What fun.

This is fabulous. So much to see
and I can almost hear the cracking
of the fire along with the last notes
of your song. The scent of marshmallows
roasting filling the air. ~Bon

beautiful campfire!
I like the contrast between the cold colors of the background and the warm of the fire. V!
