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

    The water coming over the falls, looks like a light, gauzy bridal veil.

    You sure had some beautiful views.

    I was surprised to see all the lights below you at night. I thought it was a more remote place.
    It is definitely in my bucket list now.
    Hope you two are all better now.

    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

    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)!!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!
