"Winter makes a bridge between one year and another
and, in this case, one century and the next."

A recent view of the historic Northampton Street Bridge, commonly called
The Free Bridge, looking toward Phillipsburg, New Jersey. The bridge
spans the Delaware River between Phillipsburg and Easton, Pennsylvania.
The Free Bridge was completed in 1896 and survived the massive flooding
of Hurricane Diane in 1955. It underwent a thorough restoration in 1990.
"Oh, but ain't that America
For you and me
Ain't that America
Something to see, baby
Ain't that America
Home of the free, yeah
Little pink houses
For you and me
Oooh, yeah
For you and me."
~ "Pink Houses"
~ John Cougar Mellencamp
The 1983 John Cougar Mellencamp song "Pink Houses" popped
into my mind when I saw this charming house bedecked for
St. Patrick's Day in Belvidere, New Jersey last weekend.
Belvidere is a charming Victorian town located on the banks
of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.
"We cannot express the light in nature because we have not the sun.
We can only express the light we have in ourselves."

"What I like about black and white photographs
is that they're more like reading the book then seeing the movie."

The historic Hotel Belvidere, built in 1831, is located in the quaint, scenic town of Belvidere, New Jersey. Belvidere is a charming Victorian town I visited this weekend, located on the banks of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.
George Washington traveled through Belvidere at 10 a.m. July 26, 1872 when he camped at Morristown.
"So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?"

When I snapped this candid shot recently at Trexler Memorial Park,
Allentown, Pennsylvania, it reminded me of Paul Anka's 1975 song
used as the theme of Kodak commercials.
"Loving him was red ..."
