And just down the road I pulled over and got these pictures. Luckily there wasn't much traffic out there that afternoon.
And the view with the infrared camera:
Further down the road is the park's covered bridge, which also had some nice lingering fall color.
Another day, I headed to downtown Little Rock and made a quick stop at the historic Mt. Holly Cemetery. It was quick only because I didn't realize I was there right before it closed, so I only got a few pictures before the proctor was escorting people out of the cemetery so he could lock the gate. But I had just enough time to get these pictures of the fall colors behind these old marble statues.
These statues were actually at the grave of Justin Matthews, the real estate developer who designed several prominent neighborhoods in North Little Rock. He was also the person who decided to build the landmark Old Mill. So it makes sense that our next pictures take us across the river to see the fall colors at The Old Mill:
Most of the trees there had already lost most of their leaves, which were on the ground or sitting in the bright green waters by the fountains.
From the Old Mill, I drove the car down Snake Hill and ended up at one of the many lakes in the Lakewood neighborhood. This one was reflecting some nice color in the trees.
It was actually surprising where you would end up finding good fall color, like here along the Arkansas River near the new Broadway Bridge.
Or behind the State Capitol in what's called the Capitol Mall (which apparently has no place to do Christmas shopping or even a food court).
And lastly, there was even some fall colors shining out in the midst of the tall bank buildings along Capitol Avenue.
