Each year in the fall the highways between Talihina, OK to Mean, AR draws motorcyclists and drivers from around the nation to view the gorgeous scenery of the fall colors. The 54 mile National Scenic Byway stretches along Oklahoma State Highway 1 and Arkansas Highway 88. As my husband and I rode the byway on our motorcycle we saw the winding road stretching out in front of us in the Scenic Winding Stair Mountains.

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.
