I Wish It Would Snow Already

Here is the covered bridge in Burns Park here in North Little Rock.  This photo is from a couple of years ago.  I hope we get some snow this year.

Spent the Morning at Camp Charlton near Mt. Ida. The Beauty Couldn't be Captured by Camera...

We loaded up and left at 7:30 this morning to arrive at Camp Charlton by 9.  This campsite and trail is located near Mt. Ida, Arkansas, one of my favorite places when I was younger.  

A Bright Sunny Morning in the Ouachita National Forest

These were taken along a bike trail near Lake Winona  just outside the Ouachita National Forest.  There are many great hiking trails within an hour's drive of the metro Little Rock area. Getting out and seeing as much countryside you can should be a goal of each of us.

A Foggy Day At Woolly Hollow State Park

We loaded the dogs up today for a hike at Woolly Hollow State Park, one of Arkansas' best-kept secrets. It has a great trail with some pretty stunning views. There are several other entries on here about hikes at this park. Today, it was very foggy which made for some interesting photos. Hope you enjoy.

Sunset Royale

This photo was submitted by Angelia James. She said: This sunset seems to be fit for kings. The colors are bold and it was a very unique sight. This picture was actually taken February 16th, 2007 in Carlisle, AR. I was leaving to go out of town, and stopped to at a local gas station. It was then that I noticed this magnificent sight. It was truly a beauty.

These photos were taken around the boat ramp behind the golf course in Burns Park. There is a wealth of flora and fauna in Burns Park; as a park it is a tremendous addition to not only the City of North Little Rock but to the entire Central Arkansas Region. Check it Out! (photos by IIHWII).

Autumn Muse

Fall is here! This is my autumn inspiration -- a burning bush of sorts out of my grandmother's garden. The leaves are aflame and puts me in the spirit for fall. Enjoy the season cause it won't last long here in central Arkansas. (photos by IIHWII)

Autumn Descends

Autumn is quickly descending upon Arkansas as evident in the changing trees along one of the lakes in North Little Rock's Lakewood neighborhood. Hints of fall colors are beginning to be splashed throughout the city, maybe none as beautiful as along the lakes though (photo by APM).
