All Around The Mulberry

It's looking like another good year for fall color. So to take advantage of the colors, I headed up the Ozarks again last weekend. Jonah tagged along with me this time as we headed up to the mountains around the Mulberry River. We ended up driving down a narrow and steep dirt road, which took us past this neat old building (it was apparently a blacksmith shop).



We headed out that day because the weather forecase promised it would be nice and cloudy. And it was, at least for awhile. It even rained on us as we were driving west. But as we headed up the dirt road the sun came out, and all the clouds disappeared as if they'd been removed by an eraser. We then headed over to one of the access points on the Mulberry River, which also had some nice color on it. Luckilly there were a few shady places that allowed for some long exposure photos.



For some reason, nine year-old kids aren't that excited about driving several hours to take pictures of old buildings. So Jonah was ready to head back home. Since the light was a little harsh, I agreed and we started to head back to the car. But not before getting one last shot of the fall colors along the scenic Mulberry River.
