Swan On Snowy Pond ...

“Those who find beauty in all of nature will find themselves at one with the secrets of life.”

           ~ L. Wolfe Gilbert

     ~ Russian-born American songwriter of 

        Tin Pan Alley

              ~ 1886-1970

A beautiful trumpeter swan gracefully glides along the pond as a mid-February afternoon segues into evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Splish Splash ...

“Splish splash, I was taking a bath …

I was a rolling and a-strolling

Reeling with the feeling

Moving and a-grooving

Splishing and a-splashing, yeah …”

       ~ “Splish Splash”

     ~ 1958 novelty rock song performed & co-written by the wonderful Bobby Darin; it was Darin’s first hit and the song helped to give him a major boost in his career

A Muscovy Duck is reeling with the feeling, moving and a-grooving, splishing and a-splashing in the Monocacy Creek on a beautiful late May afternoon at Monocacy Park, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania ~ a real splash of spring!
