Arkansaw

We're back in Arkansas for our annual summer trip.  It is beautiful in every way.

On my steamy run the first night we were here, I saw wildflowers all along the road.  Some, like Queen Anne's lace and sweet William and Indian paintbrush and milkweed and black-eyed Susans and ox-eye Daisies, I grew up seeing in the field behind our old house.  I finally saw a passion flower, which I had seen in wildflower books before but never really believed I'd see in person -- just looks too exotic -- but there it was on the side of the road with the rest of them.
