Falling Water Falls, just around the corner from Pedestal Rocks, Arkansas, south of Jasper. We had a gorgeous, unusually warm weekend and it was the perfect place to have an easy family hike. Check out that full-circle turkey tail mushroom! @ozarksmatt.bsky.social #arkansas #hiking #ozarks #daytrip

A small, scenic water fall cascades over the bowl-edge of rock in Arkansas. The cold winter water is blue-ish in color and a grove of pine trees frame the river.

Tall rock bluffs stand on either side of a narrow view down through a valley of leafless winter trees.

Rock pillars and bluffs form carved out caves with various openings and sunlight shining through onto one young tree.

A cluster of turkey tail mushrooms grows on a fallen log. These mushrooms have distinctive brown, white, and grey strips and are shaped like a fan. However, one of the mushrooms in the photograph has grown completely together, creating the shape of a cone instead. A rare sight!

Quite cold and very beautiful. I couldn’t resist taking a photo on the 12 degree morning when my windshield kept displaying these gorgeous, unclumped snowflakes! #snow #ozarks #winter #natureconnection #noticingthelittlethings

Bird TV is on outside of the front window for the fuzzy ones. Pretty nice to have a decent snow without a bunch of ice in our part of the state. @ozarksmatt.bsky.social is the photographer 😊

Time to edit. This will be the first book I’ve written under my name rather than a pen name - whew! Much, much more coming soon, but I can hardly wait to bring it into the world. #writing #author #travelmemoir #spiritualgrowth #vanlife #womentravel #shamanicjourney #takethesideroads #detour

Slowly but surely, progress is being made. Tasty veggies, year-round, coming soon! #towerfarm #towergarden #sustainablefarming #alternativefarming #vegetablefarm #ozarksfarming #eatlocal #womanowned #ozarkslocal

A woman wearing overalls is standing inside a very old milk barn. She smiles and gives a thumbs up in front of a cluster of aeroponic, vegetable growing towers. Sitting on a green reservoir, the white cylindrical growing pots stand about 6 feet tall and have adjustable lights mounted to the top.
