Wicked Waterfalls & Waterwheels

Liquid Nature

 

These are just a few of Tom's beautiful waterfall photos that were taken in Oklahoma.

This photo was shot at Natural Falls State Park. The park offers a myriad of photo opportunities for the nature photographer.

Below the basin of the falls lies a swamp-like area filled with otter, deer and other wildlife indigenous to Oklahoma. Therein lies a fragile ecosystem that tails off with charging falls when rainfall is plentiful.

 

 

The other beautiful photos here were taken at various stop-points along our way, including the Heavener-Runestone State Park, which is a must-see for any nature lover. The photo to your right is a wishing well of sorts located within the park.

Our only regret was that we didn't allow more time for exploration.

The authentic Runestone rests within a stone-walled nest with other interesting artifacts. The discoveries prove that Columbus wasn't the first explorer to the New World.

Heavener-Runestone State Park is lush, green, and is very cliffy. A hiking trail ropes around one tall cliff of the park where one can obtain a magnificent overview of the area.

 

 
 

These are more shots of the waterfall area at Natural Falls State Park.

Birds are very plentiful within the park.  Nesting opportunities abound.  The wetlands are also a very big draw.

Don't forget to check out spots along the Illinois River.  I'd highly recommend renting a canoe.
