“Spring work goes on with joyful enthusiasm.”
~ John Muir
~ 1838 ~ 1914
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.
“The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”

~ 1860-1937
from “The Little White Bird”

~ Barrie is the creator of Peter Pan, who first appeared in “The Little White Bird”
Two’s company for these sweet tree swallow fledglings – until their mother delivers supper to the nesting box on the second evening of summer, June 21, 2020, at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, then it’s three’s company! But for now they dream about supper for a little while longer.
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!
