More Reasons I LOVE Mt. Nebo, Arkansas

On March 5th after returning from our wonderful trip to 'our' mountain cabin in Mt. Nebo, Arkansas,  I listed some of the many things I love about being there.  IF you missed that post,  click HERE.   Today,  I'll share some more things I (we) love about being at Mt. Nebo.   On the March 5th post,  I showed you the sunrise...  The picture above is a SUNSET picture... We took this picture from our back porch at the cabin... Isn't it marvelous?  Be sure to click on the pictures to see them larger.




Since we love waterfalls so much,  I must show you the MT. NEBO WATERFALL...  Arkansas was pretty dry this year (compared to other years when we go) but there was a little water coming over the falls this year. 




Our BRADFORD PEAR trees are finally blooming here NOW---but when we were in Arkansas two weeks ago,  theirs were already blooming.   SO much beauty in the spring--even if it is an early spring.




Sitting on the back porch at the cabin,  we can enjoy not only the day views of the valley below --but also the NIGHT VIEWS.




I love hiking on the Rim Trail at Mt. Nebo and coming across a big patch of beautiful DAFFODILS in bloom. 




If you love the sunrises and sunsets like we do,  then I'm sure you would also love seeing the MOON and STARS from Mt. Nebo.... Nice, huh?




Here's another daytime shot of Mt. Nebo ---looking toward the valley below, but including some of the pine trees and clouds... Nice picture,  don't you think?




Finally,  here is another picture of George and me ---sitting on our back patio,  with a view of the valley below.   This is really a fantastic place....  Wish I were there RIGHT NOW....

Hope you have a great day.
Hugs,
Betsy

  28. Beautiful photos of a beautiful place. It looks like a little bit of Heaven in Arkansas. The pear trees in Nashville have been taking turns blooming around town. They look like cotton candy when in full bloom. Peace

  30. I love all your pictures - but I think this time I really like the header - with the sun setting! So pretty. Love, sandie

  31. Love those misty falls and the daffodils in the wilds.
    I was going to say that you should come back for a visit to Colorado; but I don't think we are as beautiful as where you are. (Don't tell anybody from Colorado I said that)!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Wow...gorgeous...but I'll bet all that pollen gotcha!!! So happy you two had such a great trip!!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh my- I am going to have to visit this place! I love that waterfall and the views from the cabin look fantastic!

  34. Hi Betsy, Lovely vistas and I sure do like the last photo of you both sitting happy and beaming! Have a super good day tomorrow. I hope it rains. I had to use the hose to water the little fruit trees and grapes I just planted this past few days at the farm here.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Enjoyed the hike with you--however I am not sure it counted as my exercise for the day. The photos are crisp and clear.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I love the thin veil of water coming over the waterfall. There's beauty in dryness it seems! Our temperature was 85 degrees today!! Unbelievable since, sometimes in March we have our heaviest snows. I won't become complacent because it could still happen. In the meantime, we're sleeping with the windows open tonight.

    Best,
    Bonnie

    Looks like you and George had another wonderful getaway. :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. I esp. love that photo overlooking the lights below. The trees near where you stood look like they are etched into the picture--lovely effect.:>)
    No wonder you love this place so much---there ia an abundance to love!

  40. The water is quite beautiful over the falls - even if it isn't as lush as in some years :-)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Oh wow, Betsy, that is a glorious place. I love all the pictures but that sunset you opened with is special. You are lucky to live in a beautiful area and to get to go and see all the great sights.

  44. Hi Betsy and George,
    Now, I'll bet you thought I forgot you, never happen. I have a nasty cold along with you, hating it.
    The Mt. are wonderful. I love the waterfall looking like a child's fine hair. You two are so happy and looking pretty darned cute.
    Have a wonderful spring and stay healthy. I'll check in more often when I can.

  45. Wow - what amazing shots!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Wonderful shots, Betsy. We are definitely putting Mt. Nebo on our list of Places to Visit Someday. I really want to stay in the same cabin you and George had. It always looks like you have privacy there even with other cabins nearby. Such a beautiful place---even at night!
