We finally got a good rain in Arkansas on Saturday night and Sunday morning. The conditions looked very favorable for waterfalls, so I headed out early Sunday while it was still raining. The rain stopped just before noon and the light and water were perfect!
I have shot this waterfall many times but not with this much water and from this angle. It is located near the Littlle Mulberry River close to where the Ozark Highland trail crosses the river. This 15 waterfall is just out of sight of the road, but less than 100 feet up the hill. Everything was wet and the moss and the beech trees were glowing.
The Mulberry River gauge peaked at just under 6 feet late Sunday night, so I caught the peak run-off to get these shots.

This is the little stream leading to the waterfall above. You can actually see the road in the upper left.

This shot was taken from behind a waterfall located near Arkansas 103. It is a short distance from the highway on a dirt road and you can drive right up to this waterfall and get your vehicle wet under it.
The Beech trees in the background still had their leaves and I really like the copper color glowing from the rain.

Lovely series Tom. Glad you all got some much needed rain. Here's hoping for plenty more of it this spring & summer.

Very nice Tom. Great color. I like the falls that are close to the road. ;)
