Hot Springs National Park sits on the demarcation line of many migration and wintering patterns for a wide variety of birds. During the past four years I have actively recorded the many species that breed, migrate through and stay year-round in the park. As many birds migrate back to Central and South America for the winter our year round winged residents become more visible in the changing leave. Lovely gray and buff colored birds that are less visible in the heavy summer canopy are revealed in the colorful autumn transition. I was very happy to see this tiny juvenile Blue-Headed Vireo and hope to hear its song often through the colder months on the trail.

Love to ALL!

My Soul seeks to see life through the lens of Nature’s perspective. ~ Lee Hiller

I love early morning light in the Forest. Slowly rising the sun awakens a sweet song of life which echos across the Tree tops. A song to my Soul as I move gently along the trails in Hot Springs National Park.

Love to ALL!

Am I a photographer who hikes or a hiker that takes photographs? This is a question which often enters my mind whenever I am out on the trail. I am torn between standing engulfed in the beauty and trying to bring home the essence of what I am witnessing. My Love for G-ds gift of Nature overflows from my Heart and it is my hope you will feel it whenever you visit my blog.

My husband Rick and I appreciate each opportunity to hike the trails in the beautiful state of Arkansas. We never take for granted how blessed we are to live in this amazing location. We send a special thanks to the employees of our city, county, state and national parks throughout the United States of America. Your care for the land and wildlife will preserve these important Eco-systems for future generations.

Love to ALL!
Lee

This weekend is The Great Backyard Bird Count so my hike today was more of a series of stake outs waiting for flocks near Trees with Berries or Seeds. The bonus was spotting some Bird’s Eye Speedwell Wildflowers and a Squirrel. I hope you will enjoy my photographs of day one of my bird counting on Hot Springs Mountain. A new location tomorrow…

With Love,
Lee

I had a long busy day so I will ask your forgiveness for my lack to text. Instead please enjoy the beauty of the Hot Springs National Park and its glorious residents. At the end of my hike I met the lovely lad pictured above, he watched quietly as I was photographing lovely Red-Spotted Purple Butterflies. He looked at me and gesture as if he were holding a camera and then pointed at himself. He was overjoyed when I held up my camera to take his picture and flashed the peace sign. Children are so beautiful and natural, it was a joy to take his photograph.

Much Love to You All,
Lee
