One of our favorite parks to go to for fishing, camping, and hiking is Beavers Bend State Park. It is a 1,300 acre Oklahoma state park located in McCurtain County. In floods several years ago, the Mountain Fork River raged, exposing the beautiful shale of the river bed as the geologic base to the river which runs thru the park.

Photographer: Tisha Clinkenbeard (Powderly, TX, USA) Registered
Tisha Clinkenbeard works have been in exhibits at The Fine Arts Center of Hot Springs, Black Box Gallery in Portland, and in several fine art shows in Texas. She believes photography captured her years ago before we had the digital wonders for cameras. Her life offers many opportunities to capture the things that she sees as she wanders this earth. Her goal is to share what she finds Round & About – which was the inspiration for her photo blog: foundroundandabout.com. Two of Tisha’s photos have been appeared in the Birds & Blooms monthly online newsletter – April and December of 2011.
