Kittatinny Cascade ...




“Summer’s lease hath all too short a date.”
                             ~ William Shakespeare
                                    ~ 1564-1616
Cascading waters along the Kittatinny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain, flow like silk in harmony in late summer, my most favorite of seasons - oh that it would last longer! I shot this long exposure capture on a beautiful August afternoon at Lehigh Gap along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).

The Lehigh Gap in Slatington, Pennsylvania, is a crossroads where the Lehigh Gap Nature Center’s trails connect two historic trails – the Appalachian Trail and the D&L Trail.

The Appalachian Trail, a foot path, follows the ridge on both sides of the Lehigh Gap, running 1,245 miles south to Georgia and 930 miles north to Maine. Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.

Cuddling As The Clouds Roll By ...



"One touch of nature makes 
the whole world kin."
               ~ William Shakespeare
                                ~ 1564-1616

This female mallard brooding her eight ducklings after a dip in the pond is a sweet sight on a spring evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, as a white feather and reflections of clouds roll by in the water.

Female mallards brood their young regularly, particularly at night, as they easily chill. Brooding also keeps them safe.

Natural Tenderness ...



"One touch of nature makes 
the whole world kin."
                         ~ William Shakespeare
                                        ~ 1564-1616

My favorite white-tailed deer doe and her 
sweet fawn are seen in a tender moment
that is nature's version of a mother-daughter
portrait on a summer evening in the park.

I've been blessed to photograph this doe 
and her fawns since 2012, and it's a 
true joy to me personally and as a photographer.

Fawn In The Berries Bright ...


"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin."
                                                  ~ William Shakespeare
                                                                       ~ 1564-1616

Sweet white-tailed deer fawn happily wraps herself in
wild red berries as she grazes on an October day along
the Saucon Rail Trail, Hellertown, Pennsylvania.

Doe Eyes ...

"The eyes are the window to your soul..."
                                  ~ William Shakespeare
                                                                     (1564-1616)

Sweet and gentle white-tailed deer doe 
shows off her beautiful eyes this evening in the park.
I've been blessed to photograph this doe and her
fawns for the past two years.
