The Roses Of October ...

“O, gather me the rose, the rose,

While yet in flower we find it,

For summer smiles, but summer goes,

And winter waits behind it …”

  ~ from “O, Gather Me the Rose”

  ~ William Ernest Henley

    ~ English poet

   ~ 1849 ~1903

Roses are still beauties in bloom on a gorgeous mid-October afternoon at Delaware Canal State Park, Easton, Pennsylvania.

I captured these beauties near the Forks of the Delaware Trailhead of the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).

The trail is positioned between the Delaware River and Delaware Canal, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The site possesses national significance in commemorating the history of the United States of America.

Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
