Facing the setting sun, a Spicebush Swallowtail butterfly clings to summer ~ my most favorite of seasons ~ in the waning days of August at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Scattered leaves sprinkle a trace of the autumn to come as a man strolls down a path at Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania, about to walk under the Interstate 78 Bridge that drapes above the peaceful parkway in this painterly, HDR image I shot on a late August evening as the light of the looming sunset tinges the Little Lehigh Creek, seen at right, with a golden hue.
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 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.
