A Little Night Music ...

“Isn’t it rich? Are we a pair ... ?”

         ~ “Send In The Clowns”

    ~ written by Stephen Sondheim for
   the 1973 musical “A Little Night Music”

A beautiful mute swan glances at a white feather floating by in the pond on a winter’s evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Just Across The Delaware ...

“A good photograph is knowing where to stand.”

                                ~ Ansel Adams

                                            ~ 1902-1984

As sunset looms on a gorgeous October day, the historic Northampton Street Bridge, commonly called The Free Bridge, can be seen across the Delaware River looking toward Phillipsburg, New Jersey from Delaware Canal State Park, Easton, Pennsylvania near the Forks of the Delaware Trailhead of the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).

The Delaware River Toll Bridge can be seen at left, and at right the iconic Jimmy’s Doggie Stand.

The Free Bridge that spans the two states was completed in 1896 and survived massive flooding from Hurricane Diane in 1955. It underwent a thorough restoration in 1990 and is one of my very favorite places to photograph.

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

Looming At The Lowcountry Lagoon ...

“It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.”

A Juvenile Little Blue Heron looms over the lagoon as sunset approaches on a late October evening in the beautiful Lowcountry of Beaufort County, South Carolina.
