It Is God Who Clothes The Wild Grass ...

“It is God who clothes the wild grass.”

         ~ The Holy Bible

           ~ Luke 12:28

Common reed grass is beautifully illuminated by the late afternoon sun as it reaches toward the sky on a beautiful early October day at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.

Hope Is A Roving Gypsy ...


“A day comes in the springtime
When Earth puts forth her powers,
Casts off the bounds of winter
And lights him hence with flowers;
And then by marsh and meadow
And by the silvery sea,
Goes up the red-wings’ chorus:
On-caree!

… Hope is a roving gypsy
With laughter on her tongue,
And blue sky and sunshine
Alone, can keep her young;
And year by year she lingers
Under a budding tree
To join the red-wings’ chorus:
On-caree!”
      ~ “The Chorus”
         ~ 1902
       ~ Dora Read Goodale
         ~American poet
         ~ 1866-1953
With an eye looking up to the sky and filled with the hope of spring, a red-winged blackbird basks in the beauty of an early May afternoon nestled in the grass at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.

   ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
    ~ 1803-1882
 A red-tailed hawk peers through the tall summer grass on its hunt for prey on a beautiful late August morning at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
