We’ve had the opportunity to visit Hawaii a couple of times the last few years, and each time we’ve been to a different luau on the island of Kauai. The highlight of the show at each of these luaus has been the fire dancers. Their skill with the fire sticks or flaming poi balls is amazing to watch. Fire is such an essential element. Without it, humans would never have figured out how to cook their food (not to mention no fire oven pizzas) or to heat their dwellings. I love building fires in the fireplace at our family cabin. It links me to my past. My grandmother and uncle gathered and hand-laid the stones in it. I’m fascinated by the movement of flames.

Fire…hmm! I will have to dig deep into my photos to look it up. Or maybe even click new ones
Since we moved to the mountains, fire has begun to be a frequent subject to take care of. Our wood stove saves us tremendous amounts of electricity! So when hubs had to be away for 3 weeks this winter, this city-slicker learned how to build a fire! Not a nice one, as long as it was hot:)

No fire eaters around here. I was tempted use a photo of firebugs but I went for the straightforward hot stuff: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2019/04/11/fiery-sandwich/
Looked through my Hawaiian photos and didn’t have any luau fires!

We have not used our fireplace for a long time now and I miss it.
I miss having a fireplace, too. I told my husband that I want a fireplace when he builds our dream home.
I saw fire dancers in Vanuatu — amazing! Something quite primal about it all. ๐
So true!
Amazing, those fire dancers are so talented, makes me intrigued and nervous for them at the same time. I’ll have to check into my photos.
๐
These artists do look very daring.

I don’t think I have fire photos.. ๐
Maybe you’ll just have to go take some new ones. ๐
hahahaha yes and I missed the big one in Paris the other day.. You must have had a premonition there was going to be something big going down.. ;-(
I hope my premonitions don’t all come true this way. ๐ณ
Fire can be a difficult one to capture, so I’ve cheated! Here are the wonderful colours of fire: https://travelwithintent.com/2019/04/14/chihuly-sets-kew-gardens-on-fire-london/
