Bubblegum Sunset ...

“To me, everything is beautiful. Show me a pink sunset, and I’m limp, by God.”
        ~ J.D. Salinger

             ~ 1919-2010

The cotton candy, bubblegum pink of a mid-November sunset brushes across the autumn sky at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Frosted Fire ...

“It is the life of the crystal,

the architect of the flake,

the soul of the sunbeam,

This crisp winter air is full of it.”

       ~ John Burroughs

         ~ 1837-1921

         ~ “Winter Sunshine”

            ~ 1875

The pink hues of a winter’s cotton candy sunset dance among the ice floes in the Jordan Creek on an early February day at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
