Yellow Days ...

“I do remember when the sunlight had a special kind of brightness

And laughter held a lover’s kind of lightness, yellow days, yellow days …”

     ~ song by Frank Sinatra & Duke Ellington

A colorful canopy of yellow and orange hues of sugar maples at the peak of their autumn color beckon for a sunlit walk on an early November afternoon near the River Drive Trailhead of the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail), in Laurys Station, North Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania.

 

This portion of the trail is part of the Asher F. Boyer Eagle Trail section of the D&L.

 

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