as a kid my family would often go on camping trips, especially up the coast during the holidays. my parents had this huge canvas tent that was super complicated to put up – but the end result was a harry-potter like palace that could sleep all six of us. perhaps not a palace. i can still remember the smell of that tent… hot grass and sunscreen.

I have been craving a camping trip lately. It’s the perfect getaway from everything.
what a perfect memory. i would go camping with my family in the summers too, all piled into a big canvas tent. your description of the smell makes me nostalgic for those days.
beautiful the women with headscarves!!
Thanks for sharing these nice pictures. We have also used one of them in a recent post about scarves on our blog…
Best regards!
