Afternoon Of A Fawn ...



       “Art speaks only to the mind, 
      whereas nature speaks to all the faculties …”
                     ~ George Sand 
                       ~ pseudonym of
             Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin 
                 French novelist & memoirist
                              ~ 1804-1876
 I spotted the sweetest sight of summer – a beautiful white-tailed deer fawn – in the early afternoon of a beautiful July day along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail)  near the East Penn Township Trailhead in Bowmanstown, Pennsylvania.

I was surprised to see this white-spotted cutie so early in the afternoon, with its mama doe close by.

Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.

Autumn Momento Video ...




"More" by the wonderful Bobby Darin sets the cool tone to swing into autumn's splendor showcased in my original photos.

My greatest joy as a photographer is harmonizing my favorite original photos to music to create a lingering snapshot of the season. Enjoy!

Autumn Moonrise ...



“... I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon…

You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
And bells to be rung
And a wonderful fling to be flung …”

           ~ “You Make Me Feel So Young”
     ~ 1946 popular song composed by
         Josef Myrow, lyrics by Mack Gordon
         ~ recorded by the wonderful Frank Sinatra
                              ~ 1956
 The rising moon of a beautiful mid-November evening indeed looks the size of a toy balloon you could bounce over the Central Range of Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.

Background texture by Jai Johnson added for artistic effect.
