buffalo river magic

We sold our canoe last night. I'm glad I wasn't at home to see the buyer drive off with it. I got

teary when Rob texted me that it sold. We canoed many miles of rivers through the years in it. It's weird how you can get so attached to stuff. We sold it to get kayaks. I'm sure I will love them too.

These photos were taken on the Buffalo river. Can't wait for spring to go explore with my new kayak!

steel creek

I took these photos at Steel Creek  back in April on a camping trip. I've camped there many times through the years, but I had never really captured what I love about most about that area. The crystal clear river water, the rocks, that amazing old tree on the path to the bank, and the always so curious damselflys. Well...on this trip I was lucky to have nice light and lots of time by myself to take photos. I hope you enjoy them! If you're ever in Arkansas, check out the upper Buffalo River area.

It will steal your heart.

blue and free

My last two contributions to Words To Shoot By were taken on a recent camping trip to the

Buffalo River. While Rob was busy fishing I was photographing the hummingbirds

and butterflies all over a mimosa tree during the BLUE dusk.

Can you see them?

The FREE  flowing river with it's trickling music that drowns your sorrows.

It always works for me.

Happy Birthday Buffalo River

Happy Birthday Buffalo National River! You were America's first national river! I can't wait

to dip my feet in your crystal clear waters and hike your beautiful forest trails.

You have given me and my family many great times and memories through the years.

I love you.

These photos were taken last at year Ozark campground.

Day one at Yosemite was spent setting up camp and collecting supplies. We got to see the famous tunnel view for the first time and found a beautiful meadow behind the Crane Flat store. I spent a lot of time there taking pics of the wildflowers. I even saw a few deer. More from our stay coming soon.

buffalo river camping

One of my favorite places on earth to camp. We got to spend Memorial Day weekend camping with

our family and it was a much needed break for us all. The river water was perfect and the stars

that night were amazing. My new chaco sandals that I LOVE had their first dip in the Buffalo river.

I brought along a book from the library that we all couldn't get enough of. If you're into vintage campers

you have to check out this book. I'm gonna have to buy it for sure. Rob and I hope to buy and fix up a vintage camper or van someday. Fingers crossed.
