These Winter Days ...

“Stillness is the flower of winter,

all hope waits beneath a blanket of white.”

                                     ~ Unknown

The promise of springtime’s hope waits to bloom in the stillness under a blanket of white along my favorite path at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania during a light January snowfall.

Silvered Shores ...

“… Silver-white winters that melt into springs

These are a few of my favorite things …”

                  ~ “My Favorite Things”

      ~ from the 1959 Rodgers & Hammerstein 

           musical "The Sound Of Music"      

A hint of sunset blushes the creek between its silvered shores after a fresh snowfall at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

This beauty will eventually melt into spring, but for now the silver-white winter lingers to paint a quiet, majestic beauty.

Gull On Winter's Pond ...

“Perfect speed … is being there.”

                 ~from “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”

                                                 ~ 1970

                                     ~ by Richard Bach

                                                       ~ born 1936

A Laughing Gull glides along the pond, soaking in winter’s beauty on a February evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
