Watercolor Sugar Maple ...

 “Art is man’s nature; nature is God’s art.”

 ~ Philip James Bailey

 ~ English poet

 ~1816 ~ 1902

Paint brushed with autumn hues, a beautiful sugar maple tree is the star of a sun splashed October afternoon in this painterly image I captured at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

The sugar maple is one of America’s most-loved trees ~ and mine! In fact, more states have claimed it as their state tree than any other single species ~ for New York, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Vermont, the maple tree stands alone. One of its most prominent features is amazing fall color. As the seasons change, the leaves turn vibrant shades of yellow, burnt orange, and red.

Wild In The Grass ...

“All good things are wild & free.”

         ~ Henry David Thoreau

                ~ 1817 ~ 1862

The late afternoon sun and shadows dance around a wild, free and beautiful red fox on an October day at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

 

Dream Of A Mad Orange Sunset ...

 

“Meanwhile the sunsets are mad orange fools raging in the gloom....”

 ~ Jack Kerouac

 ~ 1922-1969

 It’s a mad orange sunset as a summer sundown creates silhouetted beauty as it sweeps across Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania in this abstract image I captured on a beautiful late August evening.

 

Whitetails Of A Summer Twilight ...

“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.”

          ~ Vincent van Gogh

             ~1853 ~ 1890

It’s always the sweetest sight of summer to see a white-tailed fawn, and to see two together is twice the joy!

I captured this shot of twin white-spotted fawns with their mama doe as a summer twilight falls across Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania on a beautiful late July evening.
