Michael Dougherty Arkansas Nature Photography

Galleries

Buffalo National River Landscapes : These are photos from the Buffalo National River Park area, mostly in the park itself. Northwest Arkansas is one of the largely undiscovered gems in the US. It has the feel of the best parklands in the US. There is low population density with just over 7,000 permanent residents in Newton County. The Karst formations in the Buffalo National River Park, sculpted by thousands of years of erosion, have created beautiful bluffs, caves, and other scenic areas. This is a hiker and naturalist mecca.

Rare and Extinct Flowers : These plants are rare, and many are extinct in the wild. In some cases, these may be the only photos on the Internet. Our footprint has devastated large areas of the planet. The loss of tropical forest in some regions has eliminated the habitat. In other cases the plants were dependent on a single pollinator that itself became extinct. This is the unfolding tragedy of the 11th hour.
