Tanyard Creek | Bentonville, Arkansas

Tanyard Creek in Bentonville, Arkansas is one of those places that slows everything down. This photo story follows the trail, the water, and the quiet moments that make it worth coming back to.

I stopped by Tanyard Creek to walk the trail and ended up spending more time than I expected. There’s a lot going on out there if you pay attention, especially along the water.

Tanyard Creek is an easy trail to walk. Between the creek, the rock formations, and the way the light comes through the trees, it’s a solid spot to spend some time with a camera.

Grateful for the people who care for this place and keep it open for all of us. Spaces like this matter, and it’s a privilege to spend time here and capture even a small part of it.
