Peek Of Blue ...
“The
reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith,
for to have faith is to have wings.”
While there are young or eggs in the nest, adult tree swallows frequently
dive bomb intruders, including curious humans, and attempt to drive them from
the area – I personally know this to be true, and so does my camera!
In the shadow of the Kittatinny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain, the Lehigh Gap in Slatington, Pennsylvania, is a crossroads where the Lehigh Gap Nature Center’s trails connect two historic trails – the Appalachian Trail and the Delaware and Lehigh Heritage Corridor Trail (D&L Trail).

A beautiful tree
swallow – known for its iridescent blue-green color upper parts – peeks out of
its nesting box on a May evening at Lehigh Gap Nature Center.

The
Appalachian Trail, a foot path, follows the ridge on both sides of the Lehigh
Gap, running 1,245 miles south to Georgia and 930 miles north to Maine. Running
from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and
Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.

I Will Remember Too ...
“I’ll
remember you
Long
after this endless summer has gone
I’ll
be lonely oh so lonely
Living
only to remember you …
To
your arms someday I’ll return to stay
Till
then I will remember too
Every
bright star we made wishes upon
Love
me always, promise always
Oooh,
you’ll remember too
I’ll
remember you.”
~ “I’ll
Remember You”
~ written by Kui Lee, 1964
~ recorded by the great Elvis Presley,
1966
A
beautiful tree swallow poses with a seemingly wistful expression, as if to say,
“I will remember too” on a beautiful late May afternoon along the Delaware and
Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail) at Lehigh Gap.
