Love Rocks ...

 “You are my sun. My moon. And all my stars.”

       ~ ee cummings

         ~ 1894 - 1962

I spotted this painted rock in the shape of a heart along the Saucon Rail Trail, Hellertown, Pennsylvania, in late January ~ the heart of winter ~ just three weeks before Valentine’s Day.

This painted rock is likely part of the The Kindness Rocks Project, which was founded by Megan Murphy of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, who wanted to spread encouraging messages to strangers by writing them on rocks she found on the beach. The practice spread and launched similar projects across the United States.

The grassroots project encourages people to leave rocks painted with inspiring messages along the path of life. People are encouraged to take one, share one or add to the pile. You can see just how much impact she’s made when looking up #TheKindnessRocksProject. Learn more about how to join the movement at http://thekindnessrocksproject.com.

Baby Blue ...

A sweet tree swallow fledgling waits for its mother to return with supper to the nesting box on a beautiful late spring evening in early June at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

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!

Winter Red ...
