Back to Nature - Camping @ Devon! Part 1

OK firstly let me make a disclaimer here:

The following post was backdated 4th-6th July 2008. Enjoy.

-------------------------------------------------------

I tink about 20% of my everyday there were spent traveling in my uncle's car and waiting for him to run errands. And so on one of those days, he went to pick up his friend from somewhere further away. His friend is apparently richer and can afford to buy a house with a huge pine tree growing on his lawn. So while I was waiting... here are some healthy looking pines sticking out of the tree. From far, they make the tree look as though its leaves were burnt into brown colour by hot summer.


Then we proceeded to check out the camp site.. along the way there are many many canola fields and those fields matched so well with the clear blue sky. So now you know where does the NTUC brand Canada Canola oil come from if you are using them at home. haha

thanks to the canola oil and other oil mining stuff there, it saved my uncle alot of taxes as compared to other provinces in canada. hohoho

It's summer time and the oldies can't wait to come out to burn some fuels!! Saw alot of oldie cars around the corner and this one looks real cool:

DAY OF CAMPING:
After the sunday brunch, we had some last min shopping at the superstore to grab some marshmallows for bbq later. meanwhile I was taking pics of the flowers sold outside. Flowers there come in all sorts of colours. sg flower colours are boring...
ok and finally we reached Devon the camp site:

Seems like uncle had everything settled already so the ladies went off for a stroll up the hill and down...

Beyond the horizon, looming clouds. Doesn't seem good for bbq :/


here's cousin trying to take some B/W shots..

Kotor-ness (or wackiness) runs in the family. hahahaha

Even the weeds there are colourful:

and finally the sun is setting.. Believe it or not, the sun there sets at around close to 10pm at night. For the first week, I feel very cheated by the sun becoz I always thought that it was still early when it was already 8plus. boo

lazy sunday evening with cool winds and the warmth of the dusking sun rays.

the campsite is situated next to the river and the beavers live just opposite the river. haha waves hi to beavers*


the beavers live inside those mess of logs and wood..

now's shot of photographer in the making:

Since it was the weekends, the campsite were filled with people and trailers and tents..

and we slowly made our way back to our Trailer (proudly owned by the uncle) for another round of endless eating and gorging.
