This is a landscape photography image of a reflection of Longs Peak at sunrise caught at Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park, Colorado. I was traveling home from my trip to Grand Teton and spent the night in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was in early October 2007 and I was very disappointed not to see any snow on Beautiful Longs Peak. Longs Peak rises to 14,259 feet, one of Colorado 14er’s and is the highest point in Rocky Mountain National Park. Bear Lake is one of Rocky Mountain National Parks most popular attrations. To reach Bear Lake simply take Bear Lake Road to the beautiful lake. Thanks for looking and any comments or votes are greatly appreciated.

Hello I wanted to show the image I use as my avatar on most forums etc. I post on. Avatars are often so small you can’t make out what it is sometimes so I wanted to show a slightly larger view to show a little more detail. Hawksbill Crag also known as Whitaker Point in the Upper Buffalo Wilderness Area in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, My home state. This is an image I took so this is not me on Hawksbill Crag just a hiker enjoying the beautiful fall color of the Ozark Mountains. This is another one of my favorite places and many others in Arkansas. The trail is a great hike for everyone. The hike is around three miles round trip and the entire trail is very scenic especially in the Autumn when the trees are in full bloom of their fall color.

Hello, This spot on Frog Bayou is one of my favorites. Most of all it is very close to where I live in Fort Smith, Arkansas only a short drive and walk. The color was not a good as in 2006 but I still got some good light down the creek to light up the leaves.
These are panorama so the detail is much greater in a larger view. I hope you enjoy and comments appreciated.

Here are some of my favorite close up images from this fall. Some where taken out in Grand Teton National Park and some were taken in my home state of Arkansas. I hope you enjoy these and any comments are appreciated, just click on comments below.

Some photographers from the Central States Nature Photograpers got together for a fall gathering at richland creek campground in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas on October 26th and 27th, 2007. Bill Dark from Rogers, AR was the cooridinator of the event and did a excellent job securing a campsite, posting information on the forum and cooking his now famous breakfast complete with dutch oven bisquits. Bill got some beautiful images of Falling Water Creek which flows in Richland and is in the area. Tim Buchanan from Nixa, MO attended both Friday and Saturday evening and prepared some wonderful grilled BBQ chicken for me and Bill Saturday evening. Tim got some wonderful shots and posted a beautiful gallery of his photography at Richland Creek. Tom Kennon of Fort Smith, AR made it on Friday evening and also posted a great pano image of the fall color on lower Richland. Rod Kissinger also made it on Friday and got a good shot of the color on Falling Water Creek. I missed Tom and Rod on Friday and I only made it for Saturday evening. I got a nice pano of a reflecion shot of the creek and the beautiful boulders in the creek bed. I had a great time meeting and talking with Bill and Tim as we shared dinner and breakfast. Hopefully we get together and do some more camping and photography together soon.
