Since starting my Facebook page a while back, I was amazed at just how many Arkansas nature lovers were actually out there! The number of fans on the page has now grown to more than 5000! And I do love and appreciate all who have allowed me into a small part of their Facebook lives…to allow me to show off all the neat things I find in my adventures through the woods of the Ozark Mountains and elsewhere.
I also love hearing what you have to say. Many of those among my followers wander around the same hills as I do…and contribute regularly to the page, answering questions and even educating ME about my own pictures!
And… there are these very kind comments I collected from under the photos in my Facebook gallery …which compliment either our beautiful backyard, it’s ultimate creator, or me (thank you!) …which give me inspiration and motivation …and get me going whenever I start draggin’ just a bit. (Who doesn’t like to hear a good compliment now and then?) Maybe these bits of kind appreciation will help convince others to join my page (and our family).
Enjoy!
