Peaceful Perch ...

“Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.”

              ~ Rabindranath Tagore

                   ~ 1861 ~ 1941

A female tree swallow is peacefully perched upon the milkweed in early summer on a beautiful late June evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

While there are young or eggs in the nest, adult tree swallows frequently dive bomb intruders, including curious humans, and attempt to drive them from the area – I personally know this to be true, and so does my camera!

 

Gold Rush ...

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”

  ~ Rabindranath Tagore

           ~ 1861 ~ 1941

It’s a late winter gold rush as a beautiful golden hour accented by clouds rushes across the landscape March 1, 2022 at one of the highest elevations of Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.

 

Monarch In Motion ...

“We live in the world when we love it.”

    ~Rabindranath Tagore

       ~ 1861-1941

A beautiful monarch butterfly savors the waning days of summer as it alights on a buddleia flower on a gorgeous early September afternoon at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
