Young Deer Of Spring ...

“Love … it surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.”

                     ~ Khalil Gibran

                         ~ 1883-1931

What a sweet sight to see these beautiful white-tailed deer in spring, as a beautiful button buck and young doe gaze at each other as they graze on an April evening in the park.

After The April Rain ...

“Our spring has come at last with the soft laughter of April suns and shadow of April showers.” 

                      ~ Byron Caldwell Smith

After soaring temperatures into the 80s in mid-April spurred it to bloom, my favorite pink magnolia tree still looks beautiful just after a cold spring rain at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

The Spring Melt ...

“Spring is the time of year when it is summer in the sun and winter in the shade.”

                    ~ Charles Dickens

                            ~ 1812-1870

The spring melt is on at Geiger’s Covered Bridge as the late March sun melts the snow off the roof a few days after a snowstorm on the first full day of spring March 21 brought more than a foot of snow to the region.

Geiger’s Covered Bridge is an historic wooden covered bridge in North Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania. It is a 112-foot-long Burr Truss bridge, constructed in 1860. It has vertical plank siding and an entry portal of stepped square planks. It crosses the Jordan Creek and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It can be accessed from The Covered Bridge Trail of the Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
