OZARK MOUNTAINS (9)


Ferns and lichens, Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas

While I’m writing this blog post snow comes down and will probably not stop before tomorrow afternoon. Well, it’s a good reason to post a photo with some green in it. In my first article about the Ozarks I talked about the challenge to find interesting details in late fall, when most leaves were gone already. These ferns and lichens on a rock wall along Cedar Creek in Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas are a good proof that beauty in a landscape is not just found at the great vistas. I’m pretty sure I will process this image as a black & white sometime later but for now, let’s enjoy some color.
