The colors are beautiful here today on Bull Shoals Lake. If you are planning a trip through the beautiful hills, lakes and hollers of the Ozark's, now is the time.
Here are a few links to some pics I took this morning:
Beautiful photos! I'm surprised to see cactus, though! I thought they only grew in the desert!

If you know where to look, there are cactus naturally in all 48 lower states. They are also in Alaska and Hawaii because people brought them there. Some cactus can handle cold weather, but most do not like it too wet.

It suprised me too when I first saw them. I believe these are native here. These particular ones are on COE land and there are several patches of them in the area that I know of... The locals call them prickly pear cactus - I'm not sure that is the only or right name.
It can get pretty dry and hot here in July and August so they are probably pretty happy. They die down and look terrible when it gets cold and jump right back up when it warms up enough.
Hi all,

And, the deer are starting to speed date.
Enjoy,
