Great Blue September ...

“Man’s heart away from nature becomes hard.”

                       ~ Luther Standing Bear

                                  ~ 1868-1939

 A Great Blue Heron seems to pose for a portrait while perched at Wehr’s Dam as it peers into the waters of the Jordan Creek on a late September afternoon.

The dam, built in 1904, is next to Wehr’s Covered Bridge, which dates back to 1841, at Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.

A Splash Of Dixie ...

It’s a beautiful splash of Dixie as autumn’s evening sun sparkles in a fountain in the Lowcountry of Beaufort County, South Carolina.

Still Gold ...

“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.”

It’s still gold as the peaceful beauty of an early November afternoon paints itself in a reflection in the Lehigh Canal along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail), Weissport, Pennsylvania, where the trail is positioned between the Lehigh River and Lehigh Canal.

Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delware Rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
