I love the scenery where I live in Hot Springs, Arkansas; but I have to admit, I'm mesmerized by North and North West Arkansas. There are some amazing views up there and tons of waterfalls. One of the most popular places to visit if you're a waterfall enthusiast is Falling Water Falls. It's an easy waterfall to find as it is right along a dirt road so no hiking is necessary. The view you receive can vary greatly depending on the time you visit. I decided to head there when temperatures were in the teens and wow it was worth it!

Had some free time at my parents' house so I did some random photography. This was a hard shot to compose and capture with the light.  Just going for something a bit different from the norm. Smoked meat.  Enough said! And a few macros while we're at it: And my favorite shot of the day...
