Americana ...

“Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?”

            ~ Jack Kerouac

               ~ 1922 ~ 1969

As if dropped into the spring landscape from a German Christmas putz, I captured this slice of Americana ~ with the American flag billowing in the breeze ~ on a late April afternoon along the Saucon Rail Trail in the Saucon Valley, Hellertown, Pennsylvania.

Falling For April ...

“April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks Go.”

                     ~ Christopher Marley

                         ~ artist & designer

                           ~ born 1969

The waters of the Monocacy Creek spill over Monocacy Falls in a cascading dance celebrating spring as a fisherman takes in the beauty of a late April afternoon, complete with a flowering cherry tree to complete a picturesque springtime scene I captured in this painterly, HDR image at Monocacy Park, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Goslings Along The Delaware Canal ...

“Sweet spring full of sweet days and roses, a box where sweets compacted lie.”

           ~ George Herbert

        ~ Welsh poet, orator & priest of the

                 Church of England

                         ~ 1593 ~ 1633

The spring sun kisses sweet Canadian Geese goslings enjoying a beautiful May afternoon on the Delaware Canal along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).

I captured this image after starting out from the Forks of the Delaware Trailhead at Delaware Canal State Park, Easton, Pennsylvania.

The trail is positioned between the Delaware River and Delaware Canal, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The site possesses national significance in commemorating the history of the United States of America.

Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
