“Roll forth, my song, like the rushing river.”
~ James Clarence Mangan
~ Irish poet

Winter’s song will soon give way to spring’s refrain as the cold, rushing waters swiftly flow on a March day at the ford of the Jordan Creek, one of my very favorite places to be and to photograph, at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
“Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin’?
In the lane snow is glistenin’
A beautiful sight
We’re happy tonight
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland …”
~ “Winter Wonderland”
~ music by Felix Bernard, lyrics by
Richard B. Smith

Two men walk through a winter wonderland a fresh February snowfall has created on my favorite path at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
“No one can look at a pine tree in winter without knowing that spring will come again in due time.”

A fresh February snowfall dances through the pine trees, draping them in a beautiful winter garland as pinecones dangle from the branches, in this image I captured at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
