Nature’s song of Love sings softly to those who listen with their Heart. ~ Lee Hiller

I was mesmerized watching this little Carolina Wren hanging off the lichen covered rock face. It dove under icicles, shoved its head into the snow and presses his beak into the cracks in the rock.  My favorite maneuver by far was when the little sweetie laid on its side in the snow to reach behind an icicle.

Snow swirls softly around me, Nature’s dance, lovingly caressing me. ~ Lee Hiller

Hot Springs National Park is not known for its snow.  When the light white falls I can’t wait to get into the park and be the first to hike the pristine snow covered trails.  Ice and snow change the landscape transforming the familiar into a fantasy world.  I hope you will sit back and enjoy my slideshow journey and escape with me into the Forest.

I Love my life today as tomorrow is always a distant Dream. ~ Lee Hiller

Hot Springs Arkansas has been hit with a series of winter storms.   I cannot resist Nature’s art and as I head out in the beautiful ice coated landscape I find serenity.

In some of my photographs you will see what appears to be gold leaf designs.  When I blew up the images I realized it was the historic Arlington Hotel as seen through icicles.  I Love nature ❤

The Hot Springs Mountain Trail is often a tail of two worlds in the winter.  The North side is always cooler, often Ice and snow covered it is a place where the frost flowers bloom. The South side thaws quickly in the morning and afternoon sun.  This hike revealed the beauty of both winter worlds on Hot Springs Mountain.

At the entrance to Hot Springs National Park is the hot water cascade.  During sub freezing winter days the local birds visit the hot spring to drink and keep warm.  The recent deep south freeze brought multiple flocks of birds to Hot Springs National Park.  The pushed out the regulars and took over the outdoor spa.
