This will be a hodgepodge of “loose ends” today…
My “wordless Wednesday” and “outdoor Wednesday” posts had a lot of photos…I’ll recap some about them…
The Retreat photos were made at a resort…Esta’s White River Resort in the Mountain View/White River, Arkansas area,
…we spent the weekend in Batesville, Ark. celebrating and attending this young lady’s graduation from Lyon College…
Lyon has a very unique Scottish Heritage thing going on, I loved the bagpipes…
This was the torchlighting ceremony held after baccalaureate…the flames in the background are the graduates holding flaming torches…
and the boat in the water held the fireworks…this was reallllyyyy cooollll….I’m so happy that we got to experience this with our good friends…
Thanks Jackie and Lou…thanks for including us…
Now those famous chickens….!!!!!!!!!
These are the only two chicken/rooster photos I have ever taken…so enjoy, It would be a really freaky circumstance for me to have any more chicken photos, but I know a blogger who has chickens and takes gorgeous photos…so, bloggers unite and harass her to take more “CHICKEN/ROOSTER” photos…Candy’s Camera…she takes great photos and needs some traffic to her site, you won’t be wasting your time, she is really good….
All of these waterfall/rock pictures were taken at the Esta’s White River Resort…
They call this “Hog Country”…
Even their gas/convenience stores in this town celebrate the “Hog” theme…just a little differently…eye candy for the guys…

Hi Becky!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by to let me know you had more pics! Again, this resort is just wonderful. And I really enjoyed the graduation pics from Lyon College. The torch lighting ceremony must have been incredible!
I hope you have clear skies this weekend, I don't think we will! ;-D

Wow Becky, You all did have a wonderful time, didn't you???? I love Arkansas and have a HOG ornament I put on my Christmas tree every year. I'll root for the Hogs--UNTIL they play my Vols!!! ha
ReplyDeleteEsta's White River Resort looks like a place we need to go. Maybe I'll take George there as a surprise birthday trip next year (March)... Love those rapids and cascades.
Hugs,
Betsy

Hello!! I have been so busy with a grad. party, baby shower, getting ready for Jeanne's visit (Backyard Neighbor) and now getting ready for a wedding that my blog visiting has been very poor, however, I just nearly fell off my chair when, while reading some of your posts, I read you were visiting Mtn. View, Ark (where my family is from) and Batesville (where I was born!). The scenery in that area is so gorgeous and you did a wonderful job capturing its beauty through your photography!!!
