| s bird nest(?) in the middle of the forest-like Nature Center. |
From 17 April. While California, Nevada and Arizona are mountainous states, Arkansas is very flat. We were welcomed by plain lands, farms most of them. The first thing I saw was a small yellow plane flying at low altitude. My brother-in-law told me to guess what it was doing. I did not have idea at all. He said it was spraying insecticides.
One of the places we visited in Arkansas was the Nature Center in Jonesboro. It show cased the different fauna and flora of the state. We watched a documentary that showed Craighead County as part of the ocean millions of years ago. It showed how the strong quakes shooked and changed the face of the county - very strong quake that reversed the flow of the Mississippi River. Now it is inhabited by plants, by animals, by human. But the video also showed how nature really owns the place. The tornadoes, the thunder and lightning, the hail and snow reigns and no man can go against them. And how slowly Craighead County is coming back to its beginning...to the waters, to the ocean, "drop by drop".
Hmmm...it made me nervous and curious. Nervous because this is my sister's family's residence. I do not want anything to happen to them. I am curious. How many years and how many drops of water is needed? It rains big time in Arkansas. :)
