Yesterday, I was writing about the monochromatic color of the snowy world. Well, Jim Gaston of Gaston’s Resort in Lakeview, Arkansas proved me wrong. He has such an eye for finding that spot of color in the midst of the snowy white.

Love the beautiful images …! And, that dessert sounds tasty!
These are really beautiful photos! Your recipe looks great too … I bookmarked it so I can try that. I’m always looking for new stuff to make in my crockpot.
I love those beautiful shots of the cardinals. I was so surprised to see you are near Bull Shoals area. I live in MA, but I have property nearby on Norfork Lake in Missouri. We always spend a couple weeks there each year for vacation. It’s such a beautiful area!
Such lovely pictures! I would love to be able to get such great shots of the cardinals that come to my feeders!
Happy REDnesday!

Gorgeous photos and thank you for the link. I just clicked over to the resort page, for a minute. I’ll be going back. Looks like a place we would enjoy and it’s close to home!:-)
I have happy memories of staying with a friend and her family, in a little cabin on the White River, when I was 14 years old. Absolutely wonderful week!
I want a piece of that cake right now! No, wait, I haven’t had breakfast yet!
Pretty, pretty pictures – thanks for sharing them with us!
The birds are so pretty. Thanks for sharing!

I am sure you are tired of the winter as most of us. It certainly provided you with some very nice scenes for today. Snow is very pretty if you can stay out of it.
What a gorgeous set of photos. Thanks for sharing. I am blog hopping from the Southern Daydreamer meme.
Blessings.
