Glad it's the weekend again! Another shot from our hike on Falls Creek Trail in Lake Catherine State Park in Arkansas in March.
My wife and I spent last week in Arkansas touring different mountain areas in the Natural State. Most of the trees were still dormant from their winter's nap, but the waterfalls were flowing in fine form and we saw many of them. I'll be sharing them for a while based on the number of falls we saw and shots I made. This first waterfall shot was taken in Lake Catherine State Park outside Hot Springs. This was a beautiful two mile hike that followed Falls Creek. This is Falls Creek Falls, for which the hike is named. The waterfalls in Arkansas are seasonal and Spring is definitely the time to see them. So if you enjoy beautiful waterfalls, head to the Natural State in the Spring and chances are you'll be rewarded with some stunning scenes.
This shot was made along Falls Creek in Lake Catherine State Park. I had to get off the trail to get this angle, but I really liked how the trail's steps went off to the right in this view from the creek. I used a polarizer to remove the glare from the water and slow down the exposure to show the flow of the water. No need for a neutral density filter this day as it was overcast and the light was nicely muted. I don't know what this creek looks like other times of the year, but I imagine it probably goes dry later in the year since the waterfalls in Arkansas are generally seasonal. But in the Spring, it's a great place to take a hike and soak in the views.
