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.

Bravo, America ! ...

“With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own.”

          ~ from the inspiring Inaugural Address of

                President John Fitzgerald Kennedy

                                  ~ 1917-1963

                35th President of 

                    the United States of America

                              & U.S. Navy veteran

The celebration of freedom is colorfully etched in the night sky by Fourth of July fireworks set off at Dorney Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Happy Birthday, America! Bravo! 

How wonderful it would be to have fireworks – and the fire of patriotism – in our hearts every day!
