Skywatch Friday: Clouds Over the Plateau

July 2, 2010

Northern Cumberland County, Tennessee. June 27, 2010.

This is my post for Skywatch Friday, a meme for sharing views of the sky from all over the world.  To see more, or to join and share your own photos of the sky, click HERE.

Last Sunday Betsy and I took a ride out in the country here on the Plateau.  It was a very hot day, but it was beautiful.  The sky was blue, and when we started out there were many white clouds sailing above the mountains.

They weren’t predicting rain, so we were able to enjoy the day and watch the clouds as they changed.  Sometimes there were large clouds with just some blue around the edges.

At other times there were small white clouds scampering across an expanse of blue.

It was a wonderful day to be out and about.

Down Memory Lane: Mount Nebo Waterfalls

July 1, 2010

I’ve mentioned several times how much Betsy and I like going to Mount Nebo in Arkansas.  We always stay in a beautiful rustic cabin on the edge of the mountain where we can enjoy the fantastic views.

But as you might expect, if we keep going back there have to be some waterfalls as well.  There is a Waterfall Trail that leads down the mountain not too far from the cabin.  I usually hike that trail at least once during our stay and, if we spend the day on the mountain, will often hike it along with one of the other trails.

The Waterfall Trail leads past one pretty falls, Upper Nebo Falls,  on its way to the main drop, Mount Nebo Falls.  Since both are near the top of the mountain the water flow can be low during much of the year, but they are pretty in the early Spring.  The collage above was made from pictures I took of the waterfalls during our visit in March, 2009.
