Those Summer Days ...

“End of spring and here she comes back

Hi hi hi hi there

Them summer days, those summer days …”

I spotted this beach ball nestled in the high grass of a field at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania on an early August evening, seemingly left there after a day of fun in summer, my most favorite of seasons.

Ah those summer days, if only they could last all year long!

Fording The Early Morning Mist ...

“Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.”

The mist rises poetically soon after sunrise on a brisk and beautiful October morning as visitors ford the Jordan Creek at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania in this selective color shot.

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.
