“October is the opal month of the
year. It is the month of glory, of ripeness. It is the picture-month.”
~ Henry Ward Beecher
~ 1813 ~ 1887
A stop sign marking the River Drive Trailhead of the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail), in Laurys Station, North Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania, seemingly beckons you to stop and take in autumn’s beauty on a late October afternoon.
I captured this shot this after setting out from the Cementon Trailhead of the D&L Trail in Cementon, Pennsylvania. These sections of the trail are part of the Asher F. Boyer Eagle Trail section of the D&L.
Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
