October Over The Cornfield ...

 “There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings as now in October.”

         ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne

          ~ 1804-1864

The corn is no longer green, but autumn’s beauty colors an early October evening along the Jordan Creek Greenway at Covered Bridge Park, Orefield, Pennsylvania.

Afternoon On The May River ...

“These are the days that must happen to you.”

   ~ Walt Whitman

    ~ 1819-1892

People take in the quiet beauty of a late October afternoon in the Lowcountry along the May River at Bluffton Oyster Factory Park, Old Town Bluffton, South Carolina.

A sign on the pier cautions, “Slow You Are Responsible For Your Wake.” A wake is the term for the disturbed water left behind as a boat moves through the water.

Bluffton is situated on the north bluff of the May River, giving the Beaufort County town its name. The river winds through the Old Town area of Bluffton, which locals call “the last true coastal village of the South.”

Plein Air Springhouse ...

“Art is the stored honey of the human soul.”

            ~ Theodore Dreiser

                 ~1871-1945

Plein Air painter captures the rustic beauty of the Springhouse on canvas on an autumn afternoon at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania in this candid capture I shot in early October.

The log cabin was part of Springhouse, the summer home of General Harry C. Trexler (1854-1933), an American industrialist who built a business empire in Allentown. The park is his namesake.
