A trip to the mountain...

[Arkyyoter]

My wife and I made a drive/picnic Sunday afternoon. We went to the mountains to see the colors...they were definately there to be seen.

I will post a few pics. We really enjoyed it...seems this year has been one of the better years for color here.




























My little cheap camera didn't do most of these justice...they were simply outstanding...

I never dreamed that it would have been that beautiful down in Arkansas. Never been there before, but I can see I have been missing out. Simply beautiful. I had Arkansas pictured in my mind as all trees and fairly flat. Not so. I don't know my geogrophy. Does Arkansas have lots of mountains? Looks like a lot of hardwoods. We don't have a lot of hardwoods up here. Mostly pines, cedars, cottonwood, and some ash and oak. Great pictures. I just called my wife to look at the pictures and she thought they were wonderful.

Joe,

I am relaxing looking at your pictures again and wonder about the one at the edge of the water.  It look like Cypress roots coming up.  Do you have Cypress trees there or can you tell me what the tree is?

Thanks,

Jerry

Wow, Joe! Those senic views put chills up & down my spine.

Thanks guys....will do one more post after this fashion....

Jerry Hunsley, yes Sir, the western/north western and north central part of the state is very mountainous. The highest point in the US, between the Mississippi River and the Rockies, lies about 16 miles south of me...some of those pics are from there. Hardwoods out the wazoo....

Jerry Latta...yessir those are cypress knees, the northernmost edge of cypress is about 60 miles south and east of me...after that it is simply too cold for them to make the winters...those particular trees in the pics are the northenmost Cypress trees I have ever seen. They are on a small mountain lake on Petit Jean Mountain....slightly southeast of Dardanelle, Ar....
