( please click to enlarge photo)I had the pleasure of accompanying my daughter and her husband on a brief trip to eastern Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago. This photo was taken from a Scenic Overlook on Highway 259, where the Talimena Trail crosses from Arkansas into Oklahoma. This part of the country is really beautiful. Enlarging the photo permits you to see some of the color that is still left amidst all the evergreens.

Lovely scenery. I love stopping at overlooks and spending time to not only stretch one's legs but to give the camera a bit of a work out too :), not that it's staying idle while we drive, oh no :)
