The living is easy...

Gosh, I love camping.

After three days of camping on the South Coast of New South Wales this past weekend, I feel SO good...

SO relaxed,

SO rejuvenated,

SO inspired.

I may be a girly-girl on the outside,

but I sure have the heart of a tom boy :-)

Camping is SO me!

The drive south was exquisite...

The scenic road

...and we were blessed with a lovely campsite...

Our camp site

...the perfect spot to enjoy a little family time...

Family time

Eating corn chips by the fire

I can still smell the smoke of our campfire...

Campfire

I spent time watching the flames flicking over the wood, embers flying up into the night sky...

Campfire

There were plenty of walks...

Walks

...and space for running free...

Hide and seek

Winter's finest blossom was in full bloom - wattle trees were everywhere...

Wattle in full bloom

The afternoon light filled my soul to brimming...

Light

...and the morning dew was divine...

Morning dew

I delighted in slowing down, appreciating the finer details...

Lovely lichen

Knotted and gnarled

All too soon it was time to pack our things and head back, though the journey home was just as beautiful...

The scenic drive home...

I foresee more camping on the horizon soon! :-)

How was your weekend, my friends?

I hope all is well and wonderful in your corner of the world!

    What fun, especially for the kids. Camping's not my favourite, but I do appreciate my bathroom a whole lot more afterwards!

    Beautiful family you have :) I'm not a big fan of camping (I need a bathroom too, and a good bed...) but I can understand why you like it- this place looks wonderful!

    Beautiful pictures Belinda, you've captured it all so perfectly. There's nothing like wide open spaces for children to run and explore:)
