The moon peeks over the Springhouse at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, as dusk settles in in this painterly, HDR scene I captured on a beautiful mid-November evening.
The log cabin was part of Springhouse, the summer home of General Harry Clay Trexler (1854-1933), an American industrialist who built a business empire in Allentown. The park is his namesake.

I spotted the sweetest sight of summer – a beautiful white-tailed deer fawn – with its spots in November!
The spots on these fawns begin to fade at three to four months old, so I was very surprised to see this cutie, framed by the early evening light, on November 9, 2021 at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania. This little one must have been born a bit later than usual.
A sweet November surprise!
“For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.”

It’s
a Kittatinny color pop as evening shadows begin to fall during an early
November sunset across the Kittatinny Ridge, also called Blue Mountain, in this
artistic shot I captured along the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage
Corridor (D&L Trail) at Lehigh Gap.
The Lehigh Gap in Slatington, Pennsylvania, is a crossroads where the Lehigh Gap Nature Center’s trails connect two historic trails – the Appalachian Trail and the D&L Trail).
Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
The Appalachian Trail, a foot path, follows the ridge on both sides of the Lehigh Gap, running 1,245 miles south to Georgia and 930 miles north to Maine.
