One January Day ...

“January is here, with eyes that keenly glow,

A frost-mailed warrior striding a steady steed of snow.”

          ~ Edgar Fawcett

             ~ 1847-1904

 A light afternoon snowfall brushes the upper plateau of Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, painting winter’s quiet beauty on the canvas of one January day.

Shouldering The October Sky ...

"Quiet thoughts come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories ..."

                                                ~ "Memories"
                                                            ~ Recorded by the great
                                                                                 Elvis Presley
                                                                                          ~ 1968

A peaceful silence whispers of quiet thoughts and sweet memories 
at a place where the trees seem to shoulder the October sky
at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
