Snow Dance Through The Pines ...

“No one can look at a pine tree in winter without knowing that spring will come again in due time.”

   ~ Frank Bolles

       ~ 1856 ~ 1894

  ~American writer, naturalist & secretary of Harvard University

A fresh February snowfall dances through the pine trees, draping them in a beautiful winter garland as pinecones dangle from the branches, in this image I captured at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

The Magnolia In Winter ...

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”

         ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley

                 ~1792 ~ 1822

           ~ “Ode to the West Wind”

The pink magnolia is my most favorite of trees, and in this image my favorite at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania is kissed by snow when I captured it after a fresh February snowfall.

The landscape glistens with winter’s beauty after a fresh February snowfall has blanketed it with a silver frosting at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
