Love this one. Black and white landscapes are some of my favorites.

River Reed Reflections.  Reeds reflecting in the water of the Arkansas River.  Hints of green with the bronze colors make for a nice contrast in the reflections in the water.

Wild Turkey taken in the woods in the fall.  Wild Turkeys are some of the most illusive creatures to photograph sometimes.  Fall and winter allowed me to see them from a greater distance.

Man I thought I was the only one to did things like that. I too have some "short" tail lizard pictures. Trying to focus on the head and eyes. We won't talk about how many half wing bird and bald eagle shots I have in my photo archive.

Beautiful photo. Snowy egret details are always elusive but you did a great job.

Wheat harvest in Arkansas several years ago.  John Deere combine offloading wheat into a grain cart on the go.  Wheat harvest generally happens in June in Arkansas.

As an Agronomist harvest time is always the best. Wheat harvest a few years ago in the Arkansas Delta. Off loading grain on the move so the combine doesn't have to stop. #Arkansasagriculture #agriculture #arkansasfarming #arkansas #wheatharvest #agriculture #farming #wheat #agronomy #farmers

Waterfall in the Ozark National Forest in Arkansas. Springtime brings waterfall season. Clear mountain stream cascades over rock ledges to create beautiful sounds and sights.

Butterfly on the butterfly weed we have that grows here in Arkansas.  The bright orange butterfly weed attracts lots of butterflies to the area and provides them nectar.  This photo was taken at Mt. Magazine State Park in Arkansas.

Can't wait for the butterfly weed to bloom at Mt. Magazine State Park in Arkansas. The bright orange blooms are one of my favorite plants to sit around and watch butterflies. #arkansas #butterfly #arkansasphotography #arkansasoutdoors #arkansasstateparks #photography #butterflyweed

Falling Water Falls in the Richland Creek area of the Ozark National Forest is on of my favorite places in the fall.  Three water falls are shown running over the drop off shelf of Falling Water Falls.  This has easy access from the forest service road.  One of my favorite places in Arkansas. Fall colors along with the blue waters makes for a peaceful scene.

Waterfall cascade in the fall at Collins Creek Trail at Greers Ferry Lake in Arkansas.  Set of flat rock cascades in full fall colors of yellow, oranges, and reds.

Cotton Bloom on day 2. Day 1 they are white in color and by day two they are a bright pink. Dew drops can be seen on the petals as well.  Cotton is still an important crop in Arkansas.

Sometimes failures actually become some of my favorite photos because they remind me you can’t always win or control wildlife. I loved these two photos.

It is how you know you are a bird photographer. Because it happens. Kind of like loving wildlife photography and having a folder named β€œbutts”. Which encompasses animal butts as the flee exactly a split second before you push the shutter or focus on them.

Farmers don’t need tariffs they need fair price and free trade. They aren’t asking for a β€œbank type bail out” they are asking for fair pricing. They want to be able to sell commodities to the highest bidder for fair prices. They don’t want tariffs they need Canadian Potash! We don’t produce enough.

Our farm has been in my family for over 100 years as has a lot of family farms. We rely on growers now to farm the ground for us but my family does it on shares (we get part of the yields as payment) instead of cash rent. Bad years we all share the downside. We aren’t large rich farmers or owners

Not all of us with family farms voted for him. a new farm bill is needed as input prices have outpaced commodity prices. Also if farmers go under and have to sell cheap then that opens the doors to foreign companies to own our farm land and dictate what we can and cannot grow. We don’t need that.

White blooms on cotton plant in late summer.  An unopened cotton boll can be seen in the middle between the two white blooms.  Cotton blooms will open the first day as a white bloom and the second day they will turn a bright pink.  As the cotton matures the boll developed and the blooms fall off.  Cotton bolls will then open in the fall as what everyone recognizes as cotton with the fiber being exposed as white.

Water pool on a lotus pad.  Dragon fly was a bonus and made a nice reflection on the water.  This was located at Cane Creek Lake State Park in Southern Arkansas.
