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

    ~ recorded by artists including Bing Crosby, Mel Torme, Ella Fitzgerald & Tony Bennett

 

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.

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 ...



       “Art speaks only to the mind, 
      whereas nature speaks to all the faculties …”

                 French novelist & memoirist
                              ~ 1804-1876
 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.
