In The Cosmos ...

“Many eyes go through the meadow, but few see the flowers in it.”

       ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

         ~ 1803 ~ 1882

 

The Cosmos Field at St. Luke’s Hospital, Anderson Campus, Easton, Pennsylvania brightens a late August afternoon when the sun often dipped behind the clouds.

 

Cosmos, with their colorful, daisy-like blooms, are related to sunflowers and daisies.

 

The cosmos flowering season lasts for several months, running from early summer until the first frosts arrive in the fall. The season usually lasts from June to October.

 

St. Luke’s also has a Sunflower Garden that is part of the cheery landscape of blooms.

 

Spilling Crayons ...

“Artists are just children who refuse to put down their crayons.”

   ~ Al Hirschfeld

   ~American caricaturist best known for his black & white portraits of celebrities & Broadway stars

     ~ 1903 ~ 2003

Crayola crayons spill out of their box from the roof of the Crayola Experience on an early November afternoon in downtown Easton, Pennsylvania. I shot this view of the back of the building, whose front faces Centre Square.

The Crayola Experience is a roomy, crayon-centric warehouse with colorful kid-friendly activities, events, a cafe & a store.

Crayola LLC, formerly Binney & Smith (1885-2007), is an American handicraft company, specializing in artists’ supplies. It is known for its brand Crayola and best known for its crayons. The company is based in Forks Township, adjacent to Easton.

 

Crayola Colors Centre Square ...

“As time goes on,

I realize

Just what you mean

To me

And now,

Now that you’re near,

Promise your love

That I’ve waited to share

And dreams

Of our moments together

Color my world with hope of loving you.”

     ~ “Colour My World”

  ~ written by American musician James Pankow, one of the founding members of the rock/jazz fusion band “Chicago”

       ~ 1970

“Colour My World” became a popular “slow dance” song at high school proms, university dances and weddings during the 1970s.
