A Wisp Of Nature ...

“Some believe that art is the imitation of nature; in fact, nature is so sublime that it cannot be imitated.”

            ~ Kahlil Gibran

               ~ 1883 ~ 1931

It’s a wisp of nature on a beautiful early July afternoon along the banks of the Monocacy Creek as a bee is nectaring on the summer sweetness of a purple coneflower, sharing the petals with a ladybug at Monocacy Park, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
