While we were on vacation in Arkansas, we saw a total of 10 waterfalls with 5 of them new. That makes our total now at 306 different waterfalls. It's hard to believe that we've seen that many different waterfalls (many of them several times) since 2001. One of our days in Arkansas was spent at Mt. Magazine State Park (west of Mt. Nebo). At Mt. Magazine, there are six wet-weather falls. We've seen all of them a few times---but this time, there was more water coming over the falls than we've ever seen (due to all of the recent rains). We were SO excited. Here are pictures of four of these falls. Above is Jestice Creek Falls. Below are more of them. Be sure and click on the pictures to see them larger.
This is a close-up shot of Jestice Creek Falls.
This is one of my favorite waterfalls, Hardy Falls. This waterfall cascades all the way down the mountain--and is just so pretty to see.
Can you see George? He loves to climb around to get all kinds of different pictures.
This is one of the close-up pictures that George took while climbing around Hardy Falls. I love this picture showing the rocks, moss, lichens, etc. Neat, huh?

This is Jestice Creek Cascades. Both Hardy Falls and Jestice Creek Falls flow under the road and then connect and flow on down the mountain. Note where they connect at the top of the picture. This is a beautiful cascade but it was hard to get good pictures due to the trees/brush.

The fourth waterfall is named High Falls. This was a brand new waterfall for us!!!!
Here's one last picture of High Falls!!! Hope you enjoyed visiting our waterfalls with us!
By the way, yesterday George and I celebrated our 93rd MONTH-aversary. We celebrated (like we do every month) by going out to dinner. When you get married at our age, you have to celebrate the months as well as the years!!!!! ha
Hugs,

Betsy: Very nice shots of the falls. George really blended into the trees until the photo was enlarged.
I always look forward to your waterfall pictures. So pretty!
The waterfall pictures are so pretty - I can almost "hear" them. I especially love the moss on the rocks. Happy anniversary to you two - any excuse for ice cream and cake, huh???
Just beautiful Betsy! Why don't you create a Waterfall Magazine with a little info on each fall? Our weekend was busy and fun thanks for asking. We went to see Jeff Dunham and the Guitar Guy Friday night. Birthday shopping on Saturday and then birthday party on Sunday after Church!!
Betsy,
What an array of water fall pictures you have collected. Have you ever enlarged a fav and used it as deco in your new home?? I have a friend who took one of those wide angle (throw away) cameras you could buy at any store, he took several pics at their fav place in the Arcadia mtns in Maine and then enlarged his fav. pic. It was rectangualr in shape and was gorgeous!
So great that you guys celebrate your mos together. You certainly have started and kept many neat traditions within your honeymoon yrs!!
I had a hard time finding George there for a minute! Happy Anniversary to you both. I understand about the months at our age. The waterfalls are all just beautiful.
Beautiful falls Betsy. I bet it is really pretty when everything is green.
Congrats on your 93rd month. Can't blame you for celebrating months. I think that is a wonderful thing to do.
I understand your fascination for waterfalls; they're beutiful.
Beautiful shots! Waterfalls are so calming.
It's great that you celebrate monthly!
Blessings,
Mandy
Those waterfalls are gorgeous, I've been to Mt. Magazine. Am I confused or is that where the Car Museum is or is it Petie Jean?

Betsy, have you and George thought about putting together a photography book on waterfalls? You have so many lovely shots and little comments about each one. I'll bet it would fly!
I love the waterfalls! My parents used to own a vacation house in Sapphire Valley, NC.... and there were some gorgeous waterfalls through the woods (a nice little walk) called "The Narrows".... way back in the 80's, it was all but a Secret Waterfall. (Probably commercialized by now... who knows....) I have such wonderful memories of it. Just beautiful.
And I LOVE that you and George celebrate your anniversary each month - that is so sweet!
Happy Month-iversay! I so enjoy visiting your blog and looking at the photos. Makes me feel closer to my mountain home.
Happy Anniversary!
I loved the waterfall pictures. Finding George was almost as hard as finding Waldo.
Happy 93 months...not sure why kind of gift is given at that milestone. :)
You guys are too cute.
I also find Hardy Falls to be my favorite. well today anyway.
Beautiful shots!
I love that you celebrate month-aversaries - I think we all should!
I celebrate 1/2 birthdays!
Aw, happy aniversary! I love your waterfall pictures. They are very beautiful.
Happy Anniversary to a wonderful couple.Every day of a happy marriage is worth celebrating.The water fall pictures are great.I especially like how you can see the movement n the water.

Jestice Creek Falls and Hardy Falls are so pretty and look like stair steps to me. Happy 93rd monthiversary to you and George! It's wonderful that you both like visiting waterfalls.
You are the celebratingest twosome! D and I should take lessons.
I love the waterfall and the bird pictures...keep up the good work...I'm enjoying every pic you take...
Always - I always enjoy your falls!! They all look like they sound as good as they look, too.
I think celebrating every month is a great idea. Happy monthaversary!
What beautiful waterfalls. I, too, think the moss and lichen add so much to their beauty.
Monthaversary sounds great to me. I'll use whatever excuse I can to go out for dinner. Pretty waterfall pictures.
Such wonderful waterfall shots!! What a great track record...smart enough to keep track of them!
Beautiful waterfalls! & 93 months - Ya'll are on your way!!!
Hugs & Blessings to the both of you!!!
Oh, these are lovely...George was disguised real good. I honestly wonder if you had not mentioned him being in the photo if I would have seen him.
My favorite is the one above him...at least from your pictures. But I like them all!
George is right in line with the tree behind him. I had to enlarge to find him. He is like the wildlife blending in. Love the photos of the waterfalls.

Great waterfall photos, Betsy! I like waterfalls too so maybe I should talk my husband into searching them out all around Ontario. It sounds like a wonderful hobby to me. ;-)
Love the pics of all the waterfalls. This is a great way for me to see them. I sure wish I could hike to some to them.
Congrats on your 93 months. Love that idea. Good for you & George.
Gorgeous shots of the falls.
Betsy, I really enjoy looking at your waterfall photos. I had to enlarge the photo before I found George. :-)
Those flickers you wrote about are sure pretty birds. I haven't seen them before.
Quite an educational visit. :-)
It has been a beautiful day here today. You were surrounded by so much beauty. >>HUGS...m..
Am on my way to Arkansas! Maybe I'll get to see some waterfalls.
Hehehe The waterfall in my photo was shot at Shaw's Garden, so it was man made!
I can't wait to get back up there & take some more photos, especially now that spring is here!
Very nice places that you have photographed Bettsy. thanks for sharing them with us..
What a special thing to celebrate your monthaversary! God bless you two! Yours is a special story of love and romance! What a treasure! Love your waterfalls - almost missed George in the woods. I can't believe how beautiful the falls flow from the top of the mountain. Simply gorgeous!
Betsy you are old as you feel, and the way you guys stay on the go you must be very young. I like the picture..Can you see George? You should do that more often. I enjoy seeing your fun journeys from pictures. Post some with both of you in them if possible.

You and George are just too cute! I love the positive energy on your blog...your beautiful photos...and your youthful heart. Beautiful!
Wonderful waterfal pics. Don't you find yourselves feeling very lucky? I do.
Congrats on #93---BTW my Mother will be 93 years old on the 2nd of April. I will send her a waterfall. MB
That's waterfall heaven!!! Great photos, and interesting to see trees still bare.
Betsy! Great series of waterfalls that you discovered!It is so rewarding when you hike and come upon such a prize!
Always flowing and changing the world as we know it into something never ever seen before.
How many day-aversaries is that? :)
So sweet that you two are celebrating the months! And what a grand total of waterfalls...quite an accomplishment! The falls flowing down the mountain are just gorgeous!
We almost went to Mt. Nebo Monday. I looked everything up online and most definitely looked for cabin #60! We decided to wait because Colt couldn't go....but hopefully in the not-too-distant-future!
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us....you romantic couple you!

What a lot of waterfalls! I can't think of any around here to intice you to see....we are too flat on this side of the state. However, over on the east side along the Ohio there should be a lot...Clifty Falls for one.
Very nice---I can almost hear the sound of the water. :D
I love the sound of that falling water and I'm wondering...why you two don't take a short video and let us see it here? Do you video at those waterfalls?
Your Smokey Mtn. posts always make me homesick :) Did you see my Aunt Mahalia?
