Tinged with winter’s chill, the waters of the Monocacy Creek ramble past its snowy banks through Monocacy Park, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on a beautiful February afternoon in this painterly image, three days after the region was blanketed with 27.3 inches of snow.
~ Leonardo da Vinci
The cold winter waters of the Monocacy Creek meander through Monocacy Park, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, winding by the creek’s snowy banks on a beautiful February afternoon, three days after the region was blanketed with 27.3 inches of snow.
“It is the life of the crystal,
the architect of the flake,
the fire of the frost,
the soul of the sunbeam,
This crisp winter air is full of it.”

The fire of the frost and the soul of the sunbeam kiss at sunset as sun flares glide toward the snow, painting a fiery frozen beauty at one of the highest elevations at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
This is my abstract view of a snowy scene
I shot soon after the historic January Blizzard of 2016.
In a winter shorn of snow until the blizzard, the storm plonked 31 inches of
snow on nearby
Allentown in a 24 hour period.
