Baby Magnolia ...



“All art is but imitation of nature.”
                      ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
                                       ~ 4 B.C.- 66 A.D.
Like awakening from a dream, the first breaking bud on my favorite magnolia tree at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania springs to life on an April evening.

Snow Day ...



“Silently, like thoughts that come and go,
The snowflakes fall, each one a gem.”
                     ~ William Hamilton Gibson
                                      ~ 1850-1896
           ~American illustrator, author & naturalist

It’s a quintessential snow day as snowflakes tumble around the Springhouse at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

I shot this scene brimming with winter’s quiet beauty during a light January snowfall.

The log cabin was part of Springhouse, the summer home of General Harry C. Trexler (1854-1933), an American industrialist who built a business empire in Allentown. The park is his namesake.

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.
