The Gold In Autumn's Pocket ...

Autumn’s gold is showcased in abundant beauty in the early afternoon of a late October day along the Delaware Canal, Easton, Pennsylvania.

I captured this shot after setting off from the Wy-Hit-Tuk Park Trailhead, Easton of the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).

The trail is positioned between the Delaware River and Delaware Canal, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The site possesses national significance in commemorating the history of the United States of America.

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

Wy-Hit-Tuk means “river”" in the Native American language of the Lenape, the American Indians who lived throughout the Delaware River Basin at the time of European contact.

 

Summer Along The Delaware Canal ...

“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”

A painterly view of summer along the Delaware Canal at Groundhog Lock (Locks 22 and 23, which were combined into a double lock in the mid-1850s) along the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail) at Delaware Canal State Park, Raubsville, Pennsylvania.

 

The spot is the site of the Theodore Roosevelt Recreation Area Trailhead of the D&L Trail; the trailhead is locally known as Groundhog Lock.

The trail is positioned between the Delaware River and Delaware Canal, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The site possesses national significance in commemorating the history of the United States of America.

Trailing The Delaware In Winter ...

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.”

               ~ Charles Dickens

                       ~ 1812-1870

With the Delaware River to the left and the Delaware Canal to the right, walking the snowy trail along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L) on a day filled with spring’s warmth in the waning days of winter paints a beautiful scene on an early March afternoon.
