Peek-A-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.”
~ J.M. Barrie
~ 1860-1937
from “The Little White Bird”
~ 1902
Barrie is the creator of Peter Pan, who first
appeared in “The Little White Bird”
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 Kittattiny 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.

Peering Atop The Apple Tree ...
“Don’t
sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me,
Anyone
else but me, anyone else but me, no, no, no!
Don’t
sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me …”
~ “Don’t Sit
Under The Apple Tree
(With Anyone Else But Me)
(With Anyone Else But Me)
~ Sam H.
Stept, composer

~ A popular song made
famous by Glenn Miller & by The Andrews Sisters during World War
II. Its lyrics are the words of two young lovers who pledge their fidelity while one of them is
away serving in the war. It remained in “Your Hit Parade’s”
first place from October 1942 through January 1943, the longest period
for a war song to hold first place.
“Don’t
sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me” ~ perhaps that’s what this
Great White Egret – also known as a Great White Heron – is thinking as it
almost seems to be waving while peering from atop an apple tree while on the
hunt on an August evening at Cedar Creek Parkway,
Allentown,
Pennsylvania.

Window To Friendship ...
“You
can’t stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you.
You
have to go to them sometimes.”
~ A.A. Milne
~ 1882-1956
~from “Winnie-the-Pooh”
~ published October 14, 1926
Adorable
cottontail rabbit and chipmunk eye each other as they meet for what may well be
the first time as they scurry for food on a summer evening at Trexler Memorial
Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
“Winnie-the-Pooh”
has always been a favorite of mine since childhood, and the words of A.A. Milne
sprang to my mind at this sweet peek into wildlife.
