Springhouse In A Twilight Snowfall ...

  “For how can one know color in perpetual green, and what good is warmth without cold to  give it sweetness?”

   ~ John Steinbeck

    ~ 1902-1968

The Springhouse is nestled in winter’s beauty at the start of a late January snowfall in this painterly, HDR image I captured as twilight fell upon Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

The log cabin was part of Springhouse, the summer home of General Harry Clay Trexler (1854-1933), an American industrialist who built a business empire in Allentown. The park is his namesake.

A Trail Of Sugar ...

Traces of a Christmas Eve snowfall remain the day after Christmas to sugar the Saucon Rail Trail, Hellertown, Pennsylvania as sunset looms to close a beautiful but very cold day.
