Storm Country ...


“I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning to sail my ship.”
        ~ Louisa May Alcott
           ~ 1832-1888

An artistic view of an approaching storm that eventually passed by on a beautiful July afternoon overlooking a cornfield adjacent to Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.

A Simple Peace ...


"I found the poems in the field
and only wrote them down."
                             ~ John Clare
                                          ~ 1793-1864

The words of the English poet John Clare came to life
to me when I photographed this scene just before sunset. It
was a waning summer evening just off the Ironton Rail Trail, 
Whitehall, Pennsylvania, with the chirp of crickets and the 
soft coo of a mourning dove the only sounds filling the air ...
a simple peace and a beautiful reminder to me of why
I love nature photography.
