In A Mountain Greenery ...

“… In a mountain greenery

Where God paints the scenery

Just two crazy people together

While you love your lover

Let blue skies be your coverlet …”

      ~ “Mountain Greenery”

    ~ popular song composed by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Lorenz Hart

for the 1926 musical “The Garrick Gaieties,” first performed on stage by Sterling Holloway

Shades of green color the bloomin’ Kittatinny Ridge – also called Blue Mountain – as it ascends toward a bright blue sky on a beautiful spring afternoon in late May along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail) near the East Penn Township Trailhead in Bowmanstown, Pennsylvania.

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

Nothing but blue skies do I see …”

A beautiful blue jay, also called a jaybird, sees nothing but blue skies along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail) near the East Penn Township Trailhead in Bowmanstown, Pennsylvania on a gorgeous early July evening.

Afternoon Of A Fawn ...

 I spotted the sweetest sight of summer – a beautiful white-tailed deer fawn – in the early afternoon of a beautiful July day along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail)  near the East Penn Township Trailhead in Bowmanstown, Pennsylvania.

I was surprised to see this white-spotted cutie so early in the afternoon, with its mama doe close by.
