Winter At The Ford ...

“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”

                 ~ Jack Kerouac

                       ~ 1922-1969 

Winter’s quiet beauty paints a simple elegance in this high contrast monochrome shot I captured during a January sunset at the Ford of the Jordan Creek, one of my very favorite places to be and to photograph at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.

A Trail Of Sugar ...

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”

                          ~ John Steinbeck

                                   ~ 1902-1968

Traces of a Christmas Eve snowfall remain the day after Christmas to sugar the Saucon Rail Trail, Hellertown, Pennsylvania as sunset looms to close a beautiful but very cold day.

Winter White ...

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”

                  ~Lewis Carroll

                        ~ 1832-1898

                  ~  “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”

                                 ~ 1865

                                      &

                   “Through The Looking Glass”

                               ~ 1871 
The first snowfall of the season gently wraps the landscape in the beauty of winter white at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania as sunset draws near. Though the first snow fell December 9, 2017, a few weeks before the official beginning of winter, it blanketed the late autumn day with hushed winter beauty.
