Along These Autumn Days ...

“A beauty lights the fading year …”

              ~ Phebe A. Holder

                ~ “A Song of October”

       in The Queries Magazine, October 1890

Autumn reflects its beauty in the Lehigh Canal on an early November afternoon along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail), Weissport, Pennsylvania, where the trail is positioned between the Lehigh River and Lehigh Canal.

The Kittatinny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain, can be seen in the distance and reflected in the water.

Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.

Looming At The Lowcountry Lagoon ...

“It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.”
