Late afternoon light over the hills
A few palm trees by the campsite
Already relaxing
Plenty of fuel
The campfire begins

Another log goes on

Marshmallow time
And now for the Jiffy Pop
It worked!
Roadrunner skirting around the campsite
Ridgeline behind the camp site, temporarily clear of children
At the Palm Groves Loop trailhead

Rock arrangement behind the grove
Palm fronds coming at you
Back at camp, playing some darts
Sunset approaches

Hypnotic fire
