Mount Sequoyah

Jake, Jason, and I took a hike on Mount Sequoyah. It rained a few days previous so the trail was slick. Definately not made for sneakers. Perhaps we shall conqure the mountain again with proper hiking boots.

I also need to get a steadier hand when taking photos.

Where I work

My office:

The HPER Building: The window I often look out of :
The purpose of this blog is to show my life in Arkansas. I sort of been lacking in the "showing of Liz's life" department. Been distracted by shiney nature stuff. :)

Powerlines

I thought it would make an interesting picture. I will let you be the judge of it is or not...

Nature's Strobe Light

Lightning

Thunderstorms are different in Arkansas than in Florida. In Florida, they consist of torrential rain and long branching lightning. Here in Arkansas, the rain is light, almost a sprinkle, the winds are heavier and the lightning consists of short series of bursts.

My Green Hat

So far it has been rather windy in Arkansas. The locals say that it usually isn't this windy but so far there has been a lot of wind. I knit up this hat to keep my hair in line. It is made of cotton and light weight, so hopefully I can wear it in the summer.

(Note the large recycling pile and the abandoned piece of raisin bread on the counter. lol)
