Traveling Home: Bald Knob Wildlife Refuge: Bald Knob, Arkansas


This is a quick update from the road.  Traveling and working at the same time present challenges and rewards.  The challenge is stopping absolutely all endeavors to explore the world, the minute the phone rings.  Although, from a different perspective, the fact that the work phone rings in and of itself is a huge blessing, because it means I get to live the dream of traveling and working.  Monday through Friday, customers come first! Always! This morning we did an early drive through at Bald Knob Wildlife Refuge.  There were a few photo opportunities, but it is not high on my list of places I have been.  I suppose that is because having lived near the coast for so long, I have already seen many, many water birds.  Now, had I seen a Bald Eagle we would be talking a different update :) In any event, I hope you enjoy the few pictures below (I have typed little labels below each picture):

THIS IS AN INTERESTING UNKNOWN BIRD AT THIS TIME

Lotus Flowers




I think this is some kind of water purslane, but not sure. 



These photos are Wild Hibiscus - I did get some seed to bring home and try. 




I did not realize until after taking the picture, that I caught the bug that was eating it in the shot as well. 

I think this may be some kind of Spiderwort.  It does look similar to the Spiderwort that grows on our property, but I was surprised to see it clustered by water. 


The roads within the park were really nice to drive on
