Love Flows Sweetly ...



"Sweet spring full of sweet days and roses,
a box where sweets compacted lie."

                                                             ~ 1593-1633

Sweet mallard ducklings swim close to their mama
as a June sunset kisses them with light on the pond
at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

He's So Fine ...


"He's so fine, wish he were mine ..."

                                      ~ The Chiffons,
                                                         1963

It seems this white domestic duck may have been
impressed with the other duck's splashing antics, thinking, 
"He's so fine!" on a June evening at 
Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Ah, summer love!

Out Here On My Own ...


"Always reaching
For that rising star
To guide me far
And shine me home
Out here on my own."
                ~ "Out Here On My Own"
                              from the 1980 musical film "Fame"

                               "Ode to the West Wind"

The pond at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania looks as 
if it's been frosted with sugar on a recent winter day.

Sugared Canvas


"Snow on one side of the canvas, silence on the other.
I'd call that a perfect painting." ~ Jarod Kintz

The snow covered pond at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania looks
as if it were dusted with sugar on a December afternoon.
