Doe's Summer Portrait ...
“Color
is descriptive. Black and white is interpretive.”
~ Elliott Erwitt
~ photographer
~ born 1928
Leaves
softly frame the face of my favorite white-tailed deer doe as she peeks out of
the trees in this black and white portrait I shot in the late afternoon of a
mid-August day in the park.
I’ve
been blessed to photograph this doe and her fawns since 2012, and it’s a true
joy to me personally and as a photographer.

And Autumn Comes ...
“Summer
ends, and autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise would have high tide
always and a full moon every night.”
~ Hal Borland
~ 1900-1978
~American author,
journalist and naturalist
The
looming sunset of a late October day reflects the poetic beauty of autumn in
the Bushkill Creek in Henry’s Woods at Jacobsburg State Park, which spans
between Wind Gap and Nazareth, Pennsylvania.
Jacobsburg
offers environmental education programs from the preschool environmental
awareness programs to high school level environmental problem solving programs,
historical programs, teacher workshops and public interpretive programs. Once
the site where the famous Henry Rifle was made, the Jacobsburg National
Historic District lies almost entirely within the park. Henry’s Woods offers
very scenic hikes and the rest of the center grounds have multi-use trails.
The
park surrounds the Bushkill Creek.
The
original land for the center was purchased by the Department of Forests and
Waters from the City of Easton in 1959. In 1969, additional land was purchased
using funds from Project 70. This brought the total land area of the center to
its present size of 1,168 acres.
