Wild Is The Sun ...

“God made a home in the sky for the sun;

it comes out in the morning

like a happy bridegroom,

like an athlete eager to run a race.

It starts at one end of the sky

and goes across to the other.

Nothing can hide from its heat.”

  ~ The Holy Bible

  ~ Psalm 19: 4-6

Shining with a wild beauty – looking more like the moon than the sun – the orange-tinged sun holds court in a hazy, milky sky over Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania on September 15, 2020.

Wildfire smoke from the West Coast caused the sky to appear as it did as sunset neared in the waning summer. Since the smoke was at the altitude where planes fly – around 30,000 feet – it could be seen but people could not smell it, and there were no air quality issues.

Summer Vibes ...

“I’m pickin’ up good vibrations …”

     ~ “Good Vibrations”

  ~composed by Brian Wilson,

           lyrics by Mike Love

      ~ The Beach Boys

       ~ 1966

The light of a looming late summer sunset flirts with these fuchsia flip flops, seemingly left behind after a day of summer fun on the banks of the Jordan Creek at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania in early September.

On the color wheel fuchsia is located between pink and purple, which means it can be thought of as a meeting point between the two shades. However, in everyday use, fuchsia is commonly thought of as a bright shade of pink.

Summer At The Ford ...

“I saw that my life was a vast glowing page and I could do anything I wanted.”

     ~ Jack Kerouac

      ~ 1922-1969

The beauty of summer, my most favorite of seasons, wraps around the ford of the Jordan Creek on a beautiful late August evening at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.

For more than 50 years kids and kids at heart have enjoyed driving through the creek.

The ford at the preserve is one of my very favorite places to be and to photograph.
