It's time to reconnect
by Traci Hoffman
Camping brings together some of my very favorite things in life. The lack of noise generated by electronics, the sense of togetherness that comes from actually being together, the wonderful taste of campfire cooking, and a general peacefulness. I love the way the sun feels as it warms you up in the morning, the way the lake feels when it cools you off in the afternoon and slipping into a pair of comfy camp pants to ward off mosquitoes in the evening. There is something about water, wind and sun that wears you out and makes you hungry. I love to take my camera and catch glimpses into life undisturbed by clocks and schedules. From wildflowers dancing in the wind, a shy fox sneaking down to the waters edge for an evening drink, the owls as they slip from their nests to prepare for an evenings hunt or the eagles running the banks of the rivers. Camping allows me access to a whole different world from my high tech, air conditioned, high stress, multi-tasking daily life. Camping is a pause button, where I can sit back, relax and recharge before I have to hit play again.
