Grand Canyon Trip

We plan to make a trip to the Grand Canyon to take a mule ride down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.  There some of us will stay the night; others will stay in a hotel that night.  Those of us who do not go down will spend the next day taking photos of the canyons.  I think this will be a lot of fun and definate different than anything I've ever done before.  I know it will be lots of fun and I will learn a lot I just hope the weather cooperates.  This last time I was there it snowed the whole time.  I got some beautiful photos but it sure was cold which I hardly felt.  Thats how I have when shooting photos I don't feel a thing or know anything going on around me. 

This nest weekend I would like go go back to the Ozarks and shoot the Smith Creek Area or the Alum Cove area

Falling Water Falls

On Friday, My husband decided to take a trip to look for some waterfalls.  There had been a lot of rain in the northern part of the state so we decided this would be a good time to go.  As usual I got my copy of Tim Ernest book and looked to see which would be good ones to go to but close enough so that we could do several in one to two days.    The Falling water Scenic Drive seem like the best one.  We headed toward Ben Hur up Hwy 16 to road 1205,  This did pan out for us we were able to not only get a couple of waterfalls but we got to hike to a couple of other place and each time as we treked out we would find flowers as well as other things fun to photography.  Totally we hike about 6 miles. It was a very nice day for doing this and beautiful weather.  It did not rain the whole time.  Weather was great.  We saw lots of people out running around in the Wilderness which made us very happy; plus we need to lose weight
