Tiger Wings ...
“Just
as the bird sings and the butterfly soars, because it is his natural
characteristic, so the artist works.”
~ Alma Gluck
~ 1884-1938
Though
this papillon has orange and black coloring, this is not a tiger, but an
Eastern Comma Butterfly.
This
beauty alights on an early June afternoon along the Delaware and Lehigh
National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail) at Lehigh Gap.
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 the D&L Trail.
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.

Where The Honeysuckle Blooms ...
“What a pity flowers can utter no
sound! A singing rose, a whispering violet, a murmuring honeysuckle – oh what a
rare and exquisite miracle would these be!”
~ Henry Ward Beecher
~ 1813-1877
I love the heady perfume of Japanese
Honeysuckle in bloom! I captured this shot in the late day sun of May at
Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
When the day draws to a close, the
scent of honeysuckle joins with the natural chorus of spring peepers and the
call of the whip-poor-will for spring perfection!
Japanese honeysuckle flowers are
edible to humans and appreciated for their sweet-tasting nectar. The flowers
can also be a significant source of food for deer, rabbits, hummingbirds, and
other wildlife.
