Red Fox In The Late Summer Grass ...



“The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you.
And I shall love to listen to 
the wind in the wheat …”

Blooms For Two ...



“Just as the bird sings or the butterfly soars, because it is his natural characteristic, so the artist works.”
                     ~ Alma Gluck
                                    ~ 1884-1938

Savoring In Springtime ...



              “Carpe Diem !”
                  ~ Carpe diem is a Latin aphorism, usually translated “seize the day,” taken from book one of the Roman poet Horace’s work “Odes” (23 BC)

It’s carpe diem for this squirrel as it seizes the day and savors a springtime evening in early June at Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
