Debussy's Sunset ...


“There is nothing more musical than a sunset.”
                         ~ Claude Debussy
                              ~ 1862-1918
Sun and snow are in harmony as their beauty crescendos into a stunning winter sunset on an early February day at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.

Hope Is The Thing With Feathers ...


“Hope” is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without words –
And never stops at all.”
    ~ “Hope Is The Thing With Feathers”
       ~ Emily Dickinson
         ~ 1830-1886
Spring – and the hope it brings – was just around the corner when I captured this white feather that landed softly among the brown winter branches on a mid-March afternoon at Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania, a reminder that hope is always in the wind and appears where you least expect it.

The Icing Over The Creek ...


“Music comes from an icicle as it melts, to live again as spring water.”
       ~ Henry Williamson
         ~ 1895-1977
       ~ English army officer, naturalist,
        farmer & ruralist writer
Icicles seemingly sing with artistic beauty in the sunshine of a winter afternoon, after forming on a fallen tree trunk over the Jordan Creek, in this high contrast monochrome shot I captured on a January day at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
