Sunset Blue ...
“Summertime is
always the best of what might be.”
~ Charles Bowden
~ journalist
~ 1945-2014
The light of a
gorgeous summer sunset illuminates a Great Blue Heron perched atop a spillway at
Hopewell Lake on a July evening at French Creek State Park, Elverson,
Pennsylvania.
The 7,526 acre
park straddles northern Chester County and southern Berks County along French
Creek and is located in the Hopewell Big Woods.
Set amidst the
old, quaint and picturesque farmland of southeast Pennsylvania, French Creek
State Park offers two lakes – Hopewell and Scotts Run – extensive forests and
almost 40 miles of hiking trails. Adjacent to the park lies Hopewell Furnace
National Historic Site that features a cold-blast furnace restored to its 1830s
appearance.
French Creek State
Park was chosen by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural
Resources (DCNR) and its Bureau of State Parks as one of “25 Must-See
Pennsylvania State Parks.”

A Lowcountry Morning ...
“Let
us cross over the river, and rest in the shade of the trees.”
~ Stonewall Jackson
~ 1824-1863
The last words of Thomas Jonathan
“Stonewall” Jackson, who served as a Confederate general (1861-1863) during the
Civil War, and became arguably the best-known Confederate commander after
General Robert E. Lee. Jackson played a prominent role in nearly all military
engagements in the Eastern Theater of the war until his death, and had an
important part in winning many significant battles.
A
Great Blue Heron peers through the marsh in the still beauty of a southern fall
morning in the Lowcountry just before the fog burns off along the Colleton
River in Beaufort County, South Carolina on the first day of November in Dixie.
