Dreaming In Summer's Time ...
“Summertime
is always the best
of what might be.”
~ Charles Bowden, journalist
~ 1945-2014
Summertime
… the pace is a bit slower, the air sweeter, the sunshine warmer and brighter …
a perfect time to dream of what might be.
Summertime’s essence is palpable in
this artistic view of a canoe and a pair of sneakers waiting for their owners
to explore the waters of Hopewell Lake. I shot this on a beautiful July
afternoon at the lake in French Creek State Park, Elverson, Pennsylvania.
The
7,526 acre park straddles northern Chester County and southern Berks County
along French Creek and is located in the Hopewell Big Woods.
Set
amidst the old, quaint and picturesque farmland of southeast Pennsylvania,
French Creek State Park offers two lakes – Hopewell and Scotts Run – extensive forests
and almost 40 miles of hiking trails. Adjacent to the park lies Hopewell
Furnace National Historic Site that features a cold-blast furnace restored to
its 1830s appearance.
French
Creek State Park was chosen by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and
Natural Resources (DCNR) and its Bureau of State Parks as one of “25 Must-See
Pennsylvania State Parks.”

Fording A Spring Morn ...
"Joy comes in the morning."
~ Psalm 30:5
God's creation renders a soft spring morning
at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania as an adorable dog splashes at the ford of the Jordan Creek.
This serene image paints why this is one of my
very favorite places to be and to photograph,
and radiates the words of Psalm 30:5, "Joy comes in the morning."

On The Sidewalks Of New York ...
"East Side, West Side, all around the town ...
We tripped the light fantastic on
the sidewalks of New York."

Charles B. Lawlor, composer
~ 1894
~ This wonderful Tin Pan Alley tune
was a popular song about New York City
in the 1890s.
This painterly pigeon steps spritely
in spring on an April day on the
sidewalks of New York City.

We'll Have Manhattan ...
"...I've a cozy little flat in
What is known as old Manhattan,
We'll settle down
Right here in town.
... We'll have Manhattan,
the Bronx and Staten Island too ...
The great big city's a wondrous toy
Just made for a girl and boy -
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy."
~ "Manhattan"
~Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart, 1925
~ A popular song and part of the
Great American Songbook, often known as
"We'll Have Manhattan"
An artistic view of beautiful tulips in full
bloom in Lower Manhattan on a gorgeous April day in New York City, settled down in town to turn Manhattan into an isle of joy.

The Spring Seeker ...
“It’s
spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want
– oh you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your
heart ache, you want it so!”
~ Mark Twain
(Samuel Clemens)
~ 1835-1910
The rays of a waning winter sunset
brush this sweet robin perched atop
the highest branch of a tree at
Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania
as it dreams of the nearby spring
just around the corner.
