Sunset Blue ...
“Summertime is
always the best of what might be.”
~ Charles Bowden

~ 1945-2014
The light of a
gorgeous summer sunset illuminates a Great Blue Heron perched atop a spillway at
Hopewell Lake on a July evening at French Creek State Park, Elverson,
Pennsylvania.
The 7,526 acre
park straddles northern Chester County and southern Berks County along French
Creek and is located in the Hopewell Big Woods.
Set amidst the
old, quaint and picturesque farmland of southeast Pennsylvania, French Creek
State Park offers two lakes – Hopewell and Scotts Run – extensive forests and
almost 40 miles of hiking trails. Adjacent to the park lies Hopewell Furnace
National Historic Site that features a cold-blast furnace restored to its 1830s
appearance.
French Creek State
Park was chosen by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural
Resources (DCNR) and its Bureau of State Parks as one of “25 Must-See
Pennsylvania State Parks.”

Peek Of Blue ...
“The
reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith,
for to have faith is to have wings.”
While there are young or eggs in the nest, adult tree swallows frequently
dive bomb intruders, including curious humans, and attempt to drive them from
the area – I personally know this to be true, and so does my camera!
In the shadow of the Kittatinny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain, 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 Delaware and Lehigh Heritage Corridor Trail (D&L Trail).

A beautiful tree
swallow – known for its iridescent blue-green color upper parts – peeks out of
its nesting box on a May evening at Lehigh Gap Nature Center.
In the shadow of the Kittatinny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain, 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 Delaware and Lehigh Heritage Corridor Trail (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.
