Traces Of Time ...

"Let your life lightly dance on the edges of 
Time like dew on the tip of a leaf."
           ~ Rabindranath Tagore

Spending time this March in the charming, Victorian town of
Belvidere, New Jersey, located on the banks of
the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.

Little Pink Houses ...

"Oh, but ain't that America
For you and me
Ain't that America
Something to see, baby
Ain't that America
Home of the free, yeah
Little pink houses 
For you and me
Oooh, yeah
For you and me."
                       ~ "Pink Houses"
                                       ~ John Cougar Mellencamp 

The  1983 John Cougar Mellencamp song "Pink Houses" popped
into my mind when I saw this charming house bedecked for 
St. Patrick's Day in Belvidere, New Jersey last weekend.
Belvidere is a charming Victorian town located on the banks 
of the Pequest and Delaware Rivers.

The Snapshot ...

"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.
