Snowlight ...
“Kindness
is like snow – it beautifies everything it covers.”
~
Kahlil Gibran
~ 1883-1931
The
banks of the Jordan Creek are draped in snow as sunlight sprinkles its
sparkling beauty on the creek’s icy waters at Trexler Nature Preserve,
Schnecksville, Pennsylvania on a January afternoon soon after the historic
Blizzard of 2016.
In
a winter shorn of snow until the blizzard, the storm plonked 31 inches of snow
on nearby Allentown in a 24 hour period.

Miles To Go ...
“The
woods are lovely, dark and deep
But
I have promises to keep
And
miles to go before I sleep,
And
miles to go before I sleep.”
Robert Frost
~ 1884-1963
~ Four Time Pulitzer Prize Winner
~ Four Time Pulitzer Prize Winner
~ “Stopping
by Woods on a Snowy Evening”
~ 1923
There
are miles yet to go on a snowy trail by the Jordan Creek that highlights
winter’s beauty at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania on a
January afternoon soon after the historic Blizzard of 2016.
In
a winter shorn of snow until the blizzard, the storm plonked 31 inches of snow

Fire Frost ...
"It is the life of the crystal,
the architect of the flake,
the fire of the frost,
the soul of the sunbeam,
This crisp winter air is full of it."
~ John Burroughs
~1837-1921
~ "Winter Sunshine"
~ 1875
The fire of the frost and the soul of the sunbeam
kiss at sunset, painting a fiery frozen beauty
at one of the highest elevations at
Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville,
Pennsylvania.
This is my abstract view of a snowy scene I shot
soon after the historic January Blizzard of 2016.
In a winter shorn of snow until the blizzard,
the storm plonked 31 inches of snow on nearby
Allentown in a 24 hour period.

January On The Jordan ...
"I saw that my life was a vast glowing empty
page and I could do anything I wanted."
~ Jack Kerouac
~ 1922-1969
The light of approaching sunset dances and glows on the icy waters of the Jordan Creek at
Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville,
Pennsylvania on a gorgeous winter day.
This view of the flowing creek speaks to
me of following your dreams, possibilities,
and the inspiriting words of Jack Kerouac.
I captured this scene soon after the historic
January Blizzard of 2016. In a winter shorn
of snow until the blizzard, the storm plonked
31 inches of snow on nearby Allentown
in a 24 hour period.

Frosting The Ford ...
"The color of springtime is in the flowers,
The color of winter is in the imagination."
~ Ward Elliot Hour
Winter frosts the ford of the Jordan Creek,
one of my very favorite places to be and to
photograph, at Trexler Nature Preserve,
Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
This spot exudes such beauty in every season,
and when I'm there it echoes to me
Psalm 46:10 ~ "Be still, and know that
I am God."
I shot this frosty scene near sunset soon after the historic January Blizzard of 2016. In a winter shorn of snow until the blizzard, the storm plonked 31 inches of snow on nearby Allentown in a 24 hour period.

A Winter's Dusk ...
"In every winter's heart
there is a quivering spring,
And behind the veil of each
night there is a smiling dawn."
~ Kahlil Gibran
~ 1883-1931
A winter's dusk paints itself around the
Springhouse at Trexler Memorial Park,
Allentown, Pennsylvania, one of my very
favorite places to be and to photograph.
I captured this high contrast monochrome shot
a few days after the historic January
Blizzard of 2016. In a winter shorn of snow until
the blizzard, the storm plonked 31 inches of snow
on Allentown in a 24 hour period.
This log cabin was part of
Springhouse, the summer home of General Harry C. Trexler (1854-1933), an
American industrialist who built a business empire in Allentown. The park is
his namesake.
