Did that get your attention? I went to the Oregon WinterFest event here in Bend this weekend and took some pictures of the Fire Pit Competition that I wanted to share with you. This is the 17th year of the festival so it has a long history in the area. This is the fourth year for the fire pit competition and there are more entries every year.

The fire pits came in many shapes and sizes.

This one had an enclosure with mirrors.

This one was like a huge globe.
Flowers of flame and a burning stump.

This one tied everything together into a nice package.
Some were tall and others were closer to the ground.

Visitors were glad to have many places to warm up.
Some of the pieces were very intricate.
Would you prefer steaming hot espresso or a roasted garlic?

This one provided shelter from the breezy conditions on Saturday night.

You could tell that the artists put a lot of heart into their work.
Hope you have a nice Valentines’s Day!
