For Molly

This trip to Arkasouri is happening at my favorite time of year, fall. I love fall and always have. The change of the seasons is invigorating to me, but I am afraid my Florida-raised children have a hard time understanding my passion for fall. So when we left (with 3 of Molly's darling girls), she said to send her lots of pictures of the scenes of fall. The blog seemed to be the best way to send a lot of pictures without mega-computer-hassles. Here are some of the sights of Arkansas and Missouri toward the end of leaf-peeping time.

You know what kind of photographer I am, so keep that in mind! I did manage to snap this glowing tree as we were passing at about 50 mph.

This was in Mountain Home AR and we liked it because of the many colors in the little grouping.

Along Highway 5, just before the Missouri border.

This is on Ozark County Road "W", just before turning off onto the dirt road to our property.

Another scene on W. Some of the trees are finished for the year, others have very little color yet.

Looking out across the hills, just before turning onto the dirt road. Not too much color out there, but pretty scenery.

The creeks were higher than last year, in fact, one night they were almost over the bridges due to so much rain. This creek borders the property.

The last bridge before turning into the property. The road continues right, the drive begins to the left.
The larger creek that crosses the property. One night, it rained so much the creeks were almost up to the bridges. The houses from the front of the property. There is some color mixed in with the green.

Danny in front of what I think is a maple of some sort.

Jason stops along the drive. The large creek is to the left.

Tree with glowing color.

Beautiful red bush down near the marina at Pontiac. Danny hates it when I ask him to pose for scenery! Thank you, Sweetie!

More glowing color. In the background is Bull Shoals Lake, one of the best trout lakes in the country, they say. Or was it bass????

Well, those were about the best I took. Molly, you know your girls will have wonderful pictures for you! Thank you, Lord, for a chance to have a "fall experience" after so many years!
