Brisk Fall Day at Lakewood in N.Little Rock

Watery Foliage along the Banks!

Painting by the Greatest of Artist!

Love the shadows falling across the path as the day draws to an end.

Perfect Calm

Each tree clothed in the richest of colors and yet they compliment all those around them!

Can you tell I love my home state of Arkansas?
