The colours of the flames

There is something magical about a campfire. I’m not sure if it’s the over all peacefulness of the flames and the soft crackle of the fire. People just seem to get drawn into the memorizing experience of it. The magic of the flames just seems to open people up and talk about things they might normally never do. Just staring into the flames seems to relax people. Often we begin to forget about the rest of the world outside that special cycle around the campfire. The reds, oranges, blues and whites of the flames just sucks you in. The orange glow of the embers just seem to relax you as it gives you warmth to the entire body.
I know the campfire really isn’t just an Ontario thing but it has been a staple when camping in Ontario as for as long as anyone can remember. From ghost stories told around it to try and scare while entertaining others. Sharing moments of the past like they were just yesterday. Dreams and wishes just seem to come true around a campfire and that is enough reason for me to love them so much. So next time your around a campfire feel free to share stories and sing your heart out. I am sure those moments will bring memories that will last a life time.
