Simply June At Jacobsburg ...

“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”

                  ~ Jack Kerouac

                   ~ 1922-1969

A man takes in the beauty late spring has wrapped around Henry’s Woods at Jacobsburg State Park in this candid, infrared image I shot on a mid-June afternoon at the park that spans between Wind Gap and Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

Henry’s Woods offers very scenic hikes and the rest of the center grounds have multi-use trails.

Jacobsburg State Park offers environmental education programs from the preschool environmental awareness programs to high school level environmental problem solving programs, historical programs, teacher workshops and public interpretive programs.

The park surrounds the Bushkill Creek, which can be seen winding through this sun dappled landscape.

The original land for the center was purchased by the Department of Forests and Waters from the City of Easton in 1959. In 1969, additional land was purchased using funds from Project 70. This brought the total land area of the center to its present size of 1,168 acres.

Water Colors ...


“Life is art, paint your dreams.”
        ~ author unknown
The poetic beauty of an afternoon in summer, my most favorite of seasons, streams through a late June afternoon in Henry’s Woods at Jacobsburg State Park, which spans between Wind Gap and Nazareth, Pennsylvania, in this painterly image.

Jacobsburg offers environmental education programs from the preschool environmental awareness programs to high school level environmental problem solving programs, historical programs, teacher workshops and public interpretive programs. Once the site where the famous Henry Rifle was made, the Jacobsburg National Historic District lies almost entirely within the park. Henry’s Woods offers very scenic hikes and the rest of the center grounds have multi-use trails.

Summer At The Creek ...


“There’s magic in the water that draws all men away from the land, that leads them over hills, down creeks and streams and rivers to the sea.”
                        ~ Herman Melville
                               ~1819-1891
