Fording The Early Morning Mist ...


“Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.”

                   ~ Jack Kerouac

                       ~ 1922-1969

                        ~ “On The Road”

                             ~ 1957

The mist rises poetically soon after sunrise on a brisk and beautiful October morning as visitors ford the Jordan Creek at Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania in this selective color shot.



For more than 50 years kids and kids at heart have enjoyed driving through the creek.



The ford at the preserve is one of my very favorite places to be and to photograph.

Blue Skies Smiling At Me ...


“Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see …”
           ~ “Blue Skies”
        ~popular song written by Irving Berlin 
                   (1888-1989) in 1926
A beautiful blue jay, also called a jaybird, sees nothing but blue skies along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail) near the East Penn Township Trailhead in Bowmanstown, Pennsylvania on a gorgeous early July evening.

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