October Riverscape ...

“There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October.”

A man stands on the banks of the Lehigh River and takes in autumn’s beauty as sunshine and temperatures that soared into the 70s fashioned a beautiful October afternoon along the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).

I captured this shot this after setting out from the Cementon Trailhead of the D&L Trail in Cementon, Pennsylvania, part of the Asher F. Boyer Eagle Trail section of the D&L.

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

 

Trailing In The Leaves ...

“I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house. There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October.”

A sunlit late October afternoon reflects in the Delaware Canal as I was trailing in the leaves along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).

I captured this image after starting out from the Forks of the Delaware Trailhead at Delaware Canal State Park, 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.

The corn is no longer green, but autumn’s beauty colors an early October evening along the Jordan Creek Greenway at Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.
