Wildflowers in the Ouachitas of Arksnsas

It is that time of the year when Spring makes everything come to life and all of the waterfalls that I have found will finally put on their best outfit for their new photos. Actually the battle between wildflowers and waterfalls has officially began. An outing with me turns into a marathon using ever ounce of light to do both, but of course the Ouachitas do not disappoint. What new treasure awaits for me around the corner? What new friends will I make? Well only time will tell but for today I'll start with this one.

Icy Winter Photography

If you were willing to brave the cold it was an amazing year to take winter photos.
The train photo was a lucky accident and being in the right place at the right time. I was standing in a creek taking a bridge photo in the snow when I heard the whistle blow and charged up the hill, the photo looks peaceful but add a train moving 45 mph and a bunch of blowing snow and you get a different picture all together. One of the cool things I discovered later is that the train is a Union Pacific train on a Kansas City Southern track. Well I'm off on my next new adventure discovering the many wonders of Arkansas.
