Just Dandy ...


“Butterflies … flowers that fly and all but sing.”
       ~ Robert Frost
            ~ 1874-1963
         ~ Four Time Pulitzer Prize Winner
A white butterfly alights on a dandelion on a beautiful – and dandy – April 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 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.

Easy, Breezy Butterfly ...

Candle On Wings ...

Small Wonder ...


"The magnificent butterfly finds a little heap of dirt
and sits on it; but man will never on his heap of 
mud keep still."
                                ~ Joseph Conrad
                                                      1857-1924

This white butterfly finds a shady spot in the mud
to sip some moisture yesterday at
Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
