It Was November ...

“It was November – the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines.”

                     ~ L.M. Montgomery

                          ~ 1874-1942 

The late afternoon of a waning November day paints the scenery around a man and his dog strolling down a path at Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania, as they are about to walk under the Interstate 78 bridge that drapes above the peaceful parkway in this painterly, HDR image I shot as sunset loomed.

The busy interstate that drives above the bucolic setting is an interesting juxtaposition, but the bridge does nothing to detract from the serene paths, natural scenery and the Little Lehigh Creek, seen at right, that flows through the length of the parkway.

Interstate 78 is an east-west highway running 144 miles from northeast of Harrisburg through Allentown in Pennsylvania, and western and northern New Jersey to the Holland Tunnel and Lower Manhattan in New York City.

October Along The Delaware ...

“I’m so glad I live in world where there are Octobers.”

October’s beauty brilliantly dots the banks of the Delaware River in Raubsville, Pennsylvania on a beautiful autumn afternoon along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).

I captured this shot after setting off from the Wy-Hit-Tuk Park Trailhead, Easton, Pennsylvania.

The trail is positioned between the Delaware River and Delaware Canal, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The site possesses national significance in commemorating the history of the United States of America.

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

 

Wy-Hit-Tuk means “river”" in the Native American language of the Lenape, the American Indians who lived throughout the Delaware River Basin at the time of European contact.

A World Where It Was Always June ...


“I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.”

A man cycles along the Saucon Rail Trail, Hellertown, Pennsylvania on a picturesque June afternoon a few days after summer, my most favorite of seasons, has just begun and starts to grow its beauty throughout the landscape.

The gorgeous day made me think of L.M. Montgomery’s words, “I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.” I think, what a wonderful world that would be!
