Indian Summer At Guth's Bridge ...

Fall foliage blends with temperatures in the 70s on a beautiful early November afternoon to create a quintessential Indian Summer day at Manassas Guth Covered Bridge.

The bridge crosses the Jordan Creek in South Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania. The historic wooden bridge was constructed in 1858 and rebuilt in 1882. It is a 108-foot long Burr Truss Bridge with vertical siding. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and is part of Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.

The bridge is also known as Guth’s Covered Bridge and Guth’s Bridge.

 

Traipsing In Belvidere Town ...

"Autumn carries more gold in its pocket
than all the other seasons."

                                     &
                              New Jersey native
Traipsing through Belvidere, New Jersey on a golden Indian Summer day near Thisilldous Eatery ... and crunchy piles of autumn leaves perfect for traipsing through on this November afternoon!

Belvidere, one of my very favorite places, is a charming, Victorian town located on the banks of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.  
 

Autumn Cascade ...

"The music of the far-away summer
flutters around the autumn 
seeking its former nest."
                       ~ Rabindranath Tagore
                                ~ 1861-1941

Autumn cascades like a capricious
melody over a small waterfall on the Pequest River on a picturesque Indian Summer day in 
Belvidere, New Jersey.

The Pequest - Native American for "open land," -
tumbles down to Belvidere in a series of falls,
where it meets the mighty Delaware River,
of which it is a tributary.

Belvidere, one of my very favorite places,
is a charming Victorian town on the banks
of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.         

A River Runs Through It ...

"But memory is an autumn leaf that
murmurs a while in the wind
and then is heard no more."
                   ~ Khalil Gibran
                                 ~ 1883-1931

Leaves frame the autumn colors cascading across the Pequest River as it flows through the middle of town in Belvidere, New Jersey on a perfect Indian Summer day in November.

Belvidere, one of my very favorite places,
is a charming, Victorian town located on the
banks of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.   

Irish Blessings ...

"An Irish Prayer"

May God give you ...

For every storm, a rainbow

For every tear, a smile

For every care, a promise

And a blessing in each trial.

For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share

For every sigh a sweet song

And an answer for each prayer.

 

The autumn sunshine of a gorgeous Indian Summer day

smiles on St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church, Belvidere, New Jersey.

The shamrock windows give a touch of an Irish blessing, with a

beautiful statue of Jesus Christ with his arms outstretched above them.

The cornerstone of this quaint, picturesque church at

327 Greenwich Street was laid in 1891.

Belvidere, one of my very favorite places,

is a charming Victorian town on 

the banks of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers. 

 

Indian Summer On The Delaware ...

"Each golden day was cherished to the full,

for one had the feeling that each must be the last.

Tommorrow it would be winter."

                                                              ~ 1907-1968

Indian Summer is my most favorite of seasons with it's warm

golden days and crisp evenings ... the best of both worlds.

And it was a quintessential Indian Summer day in early November

when I shot this beautiful vista of the Delaware River

from the Riverton-Belvidere Toll Supported Bridge.

The bridge, which opened in 1904, links Belvidere, New Jersey and

Riverton, Pennsylvania.

Belvidere, one of my very favorite places, is a charming Victorian town

located on the banks of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.

The Gilding ...

"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting

and autumn a mosaic of them all."

                                       ~ Stanley Horowitz

 

Some moments are golden, as when this man and his dog enjoy

a sunkissed Indian Summer afternoon on a path decorated with

gilded autumn leaves along the Saucon Rail Trail, Hellertown, Pennsylvania.

 

Indian Summerset ...

"There is a harmony in autumn,
and a luster in its sky."
                                  ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
                                                   ~ 1792-1822

I love Indian Summer and its harmony
of warmth and crispness. On this warm
October evening, God paints the sky
with a lustrous sunset at
Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
