A snow goose joyfully welcomes spring with open wings along the banks of the Jordan Creek on the first day of spring – March 20, 2022 – at Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.
The Jordan Creek pours over Wehr’s Dam, built in 1904, then continues to flow beneath Wehr’s Covered Bridge, which dates back to 1841.

Hints of the golden hour pirouette on the waters of the Jordan Creek as they spill over Wehr’s Dam in this painterly, HDR image I shot as moody March skies and a windy day ushered in the first day of spring March 20, 2022.
A pair of snow geese can be seen at left on the Jordan Creek, which continues to then flow beneath Wehr’s Covered Bridge at Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.
The dam, built in 1904, is next to Wehr’s Covered Bridge, which dates back to 1841.
The boardwalk of the Jordan Creek Greenway can be seen behind the dam.
