Arkansas 2009

Maybe the third time will be the charm. After my second trip to Arkansas, I was hoping that this will be the year I’ll finally get to see the all the vibrant colors of fall. Last year, we went at around the middle of October and, unfortunately, found out that we were a couple weeks too early. We only managed to see patchy colors, with the majority of the leaves still green. But this year, we went on the first week of November which, according to weather analysts and blog enthusiast, was the perfect time to see the rich fall colors. But when we got there, it was a horrific. Because of the heavy rain it received the past few weeks, the leaves never peaked and we ended up with dried-up, merciless, depressed, and tortured remains.

Well, maybe it wasn’t that bad. But because of the unexpected turnout, we got to see the other beauties of Arkansas. There is so much to see here, and the sunsets here are breathtaking. Here are a few selected pictures taken during the trip.

Well, let’s hope next year will be the lucky year. To view the rest of the photos of our trip, click here.
