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.

Raptor In The Grass ...

“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”

   ~ 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.
