Snowlight ...




“Kindness is like snow – it beautifies everything it covers.”
                    ~  Kahlil Gibran
                                        ~ 1883-1931

The banks of the Jordan Creek are draped in snow as sunlight sprinkles its sparkling beauty on the creek’s icy waters at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania on a January afternoon soon after the historic 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.

Miles To Go ...


“The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”

       ~ Four Time Pulitzer Prize Winner
        ~ “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”
                          ~ 1923                                                  
There are miles yet to go on a snowy trail by the Jordan Creek that highlights winter’s beauty at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania on a January afternoon soon after the historic 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.

Deer Of The Green Vale ...


“Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.”
                              ~ Gary Snyder
                                          ~ born 1930
         ~ Pulitzer Prize Winner for Poetry, 1975


My favorite white-tailed deer doe and her fawn pose for a sweet September portrait at home in the park as sunset knocks on the door of a beautiful, waning summer evening.

I’ve been blessed to photograph this doe and her fawns since 2012, and it’s a true joy to me personally and as a photographer.
