Well Fall has finally arrived in Arkansas.  After a wet summer I was looking forward to a beautiful and colorful Fall with waterfalls running, but it seems mother nature had a different plan in mind.  We have been dry for the almost a month now with temperatures reaching into the upper nineties and heat indexes well above 100.   It has been this way for a few years now, with Fall finally showing up late.   This photo was taken in the Ozarks about 5 years ago in early October.  Just for comparison, I was still shooting Fall photos well into early December last year.   This photo was taken at Hawcreek Recreation Area, North of Clarksville.  This is such and amazing area with plenty of waterfalls to photograph, all with little or no hiking.  Of course for the adventurous, there is some intense hikes here as well, maybe some of the hardest in the state.  I hope to start writing more blogs this year, sharing my adventures.  Be safe and enjoy traveling in Arkansas.
