These shots were taken last fall in the Buffalo River Wilderness. The colors were gorgeous then. We spent the last 2 days in the same area, but it was quite different with the look of winter - but a beauty all it's own.

We walked about 6 miles up cliffs, down streams, and around boulders - and took about a 500 pictures each! I'll be forever getting them all ready to post, but hopefully, starting Sunday! This is just a taste...

(Larry got a headstart on me by posting some of our hike on
today's blog )

I absolutely love this set Brenda! Each shot is just gorgeous. 365edgar · 2010-03-05: 22:38

These are so beautiful, Brenda! I took a look at Larry's photos - absolutely breath-taking! I smiled when I saw you standing on the edge of that cliff. You looked great but I must admit you're much braver than me! :)) SusieG · 2010-03-06: 05:29

Wow, thats some amazing images. Impressive cliffs, wonderful colors. And a brave woman! I saw Larry's images ;) Ole365 · 2010-03-06: 06:17

I loved the falling waters!:) so cool :)) onlyricky · 2010-03-06: 06:56

Wonderful, I like all of these; #1 is my favorite, and #2 is my favorite as well (something about the color of polished river rocks). I went to the Ponca valley Saturday and it won't be long before the first wildflowers show up. critterbug · 2010-03-06: 08:48
