The Cuddle Up ...

 

“Happiness is the richest thing we will ever own.”

          ~ Donald Duck

 

Adorable mallard ducklings happily cuddle up ~ with their mama nearby ~ by the Coplay Creek on a beautiful early July evening along the Ironton Rail Trail, which loops more than nine miles through Whitehall Township, the Borough of Coplay and North Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania.

 

The Ironton Railroad was a shortline railroad in Lehigh County. Originally built in 1861 to haul iron ore and limestone to blast furnaces along the Lehigh River, traffic later shifted to carrying Portland Cement when local iron mining declined in the early 20th century. Much of the railroad had already been abandoned when it became part of Conrail in 1976, and the last of its trackage was removed in 1984.

 

In 1996, Whitehall Township purchased 9.2 miles of the right-of-way from Conrail, transforming it into the Ironton Rail Trail.

In My Little Corner Of The World ...


“Oh come along with me
To my little corner of the world
And dream a little dream
In my little corner of the world

Tonight, my love
We’ll share a sweet embrace
We’ll soon forget
There’s any other place

And if you care to stay
In my little corner of the world
Then we can hide away
In my little corner of the world

I always knew
I’d find someone like you
So welcome to
My little corner of the world …”
             “In My Little Corner of the World”
