"If the hands of time were
hands that I could hold ...
Hand in hand we'd choose
the moments that should last ...
Until the hands of time would choose
to wave goodbye."
"The Hands of Time"
("Brian' s Song)
~ Music by Michael Legrand
Lyrics by Marilyn & Alan Bergman

Autumn leaves touch momentarily in the
crest of the Little Lehigh Creek on an October morning
at Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania in this
long exposure capture.
"I will remember you
will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories."
~ Sarah McLaughlin, 1995
This dandelion puff on a May evening
at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania
brought to mind that wonderful song.
"So gather moments while you may
Collect the dreams you dream today
Remember, will you remember
The times of your life?"
~ "Times of Your Life"
~ Paul Anka
When I snapped this candid shot recently at Trexler Memorial Park,
Allentown, Pennsylvania, it reminded me of Paul Anka's 1975 song
used as the theme of Kodak commercials.
" God gave us memories so that we may have roses in December."

Seeing this rose petal nestled in the leaves at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania recently reminded me of the beautiful, sentimental words of James Barrie.
"But I miss you most of all my darling, when autumn leaves start to fall ..."
~ "Autumn Leaves," French lyrics by Jacques Prevert, English lyrics by Johnny Mercer,
Music by Joseph Kosma, 1946.
Raindrops that looked like tears lingered on this leaf after the sun appeared this weekend at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, reminding me of this line from the 1946 classic, "Autumn Leaves."
