Come Saturday Morning ...

"There is nowhere morning doesn't go." 
                                           ~ Leah Hager Cohen

The Jordan Creeks spills over Wehr's Dam on a beautiful Saturday morning this
weekend., bringing to mind the 1969 Sandpipers song, "Come Saturday Morning." 
Wehr's Dam is located at Wehr's Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.
The bridge was built in 1841 and restored in 1965.
       

Gilded Canopy

"Autumn ... the year's last, loveliest smile."
                                             ~ William Cullen Bryant
                                                                              ~1794-1878

Gilded autumn leaves create a canopy this morning at one of my favorite spots on the Saucon Rail Trail, Hellertown, Pennsylvania.

Reverie ...

"One of the best things about paintings is their silence - 
which prompts reflection and random reverie."
                                               ~ Mark Stevens

The Hockendauqua Creek flows beneath the historic Kreidersville Covered Bridge this weekend, creating a painterly scene.  Built in 1839,  the bridge in Allen Township, Pennsylvania, is the only covered bridge left in Northampton County.

Painter's Sky

"Be lost on a painted sky, where clouds are hung for the poet's eye...
          ~ Neil Diamond, "Be" from Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Sunset hues are painted across the sky this weekend at Trexler Memorial Park,
 Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Framing Autumn

" Aprils have never meant much to me, autumns seem that season of beginning, spring."
~ Truman Capote, "Breakfast at Tiffany's."    

Kreidersville Covered Bridge in Allen Township, Pennsylvania was built in 1839. The bridge is loved for its great history and tranquil setting by the Hokendauqua Creek. It is the only covered bridge left in Northampton County. Today it seemed the highlight of an autumn postcard.                                         

Painting Light ...

"There was a time when meadow, grove and stream, 
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparell'd in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream."
                ~ William Wordsworth
       "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood"

The autumn sun paints the stream last weekend at Trexler Memorial Park,
Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Brushstrokes ...

" Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty if only we have the eyes to see them."
                                 ~ John Ruskin

Sunset was like a painting in the sky yesterday at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Road To Brigadoon ...

"Brigadoon, Brigadoon, blooming under sable skies. Brigadoon, Brigadoon,
There my heart forever lies. Let the world grow cold around us, let the heavens cry above! Brigadoon, Brigadoon, in thy valley, there'll be love!"
                                       ~ "Brigadoon," Lerner & Loewe, 1947

As the morning light dapples on the path this weekend at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, it seems as though it could be the road to Brigadoon!

Sunnyside Up

"If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies."
                                                                           ~ Author Unknown

This yellow butterfly keeps his sunnyside up in the morning sunshine this weekend at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, despite chilly temperatures and wind.

The Painter's Dream

"I dream my painting and I paint my dream."
                                                                     ~ Vincent van Gogh

I love finding the spots tucked away from the main path for photos. This is one of
my favorites just behind the springhouse at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania. On this November afternoon the scene looked like a painting to me.

October Gold

"When the sun has set, no candle can replace it."
                                                                      ~ George R.R. Martin

The October sky  shows its beauty at sunset tonight at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

October At Robin Hood Dell

"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."
                                                        ~ L.M. Montgomery, "Anne of Green Gables"

 October's golden light touches Robin Hood Dell at Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania  just before sunset today.

You Light Up My Life

"We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever." 
                                                                             ~ Carl Sagan
When I saw the sunlight filtering through the wings of these yellow butterflies on a beautiful Indian Summer day this weekend at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, it reminded me of the 1977 Debby Boone song, "You Light Up My Life."

A Tree Grows In Autumn ...

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower ..."
                                                                                              ~ Albert Camus

This is one of my favorite autumn spots in Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania. The title of this shot, which I took this weekend, was inspired by one of my favorite movies, 
"A Tree Grows In Brooklyn."

Falling Tears ...

"But I miss you most of all my darling, when autumn leaves start to fall ..."

~ "Autumn Leaves," French lyrics by Jacques Prevert, English lyrics by Johnny Mercer,
Music by Joseph Kosma, 1946.

Raindrops that looked like tears lingered on this leaf after the sun appeared this weekend at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, reminding me of this line from the 1946 classic, "Autumn Leaves."

Red Pops!

"Red is the ultimate cure for saddness." ~ Bill Blass

The color on these wild red berries popped a few days ago in the autumn sun at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

A Dance of Light

I liked this play of light that I saw this weekend in Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
