Sweetness In July ...

“Take a look at what surrounds you. You’ll find natural wonders at every turn.”

                    ~author unknown

It’s sweetness in July as a precious white-tailed deer fawn grazes under its mama doe’s watchful eye along the Saucon Rail Trail, Hellertown, Pennsylvania.

Sunset Over Savannah ...

“Georgia, Georgia

The whole day through

Just an old sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind …”

      ~ “Georgia on My Mind”

     ~1930 song written by Hoagy Carmichael & Stuart Gorrell and first recorded that year by Hoagy Carmichael. It has often been associated with Ray Charles a native of Georgia who recorded it for his 1960 album “The Genius Hits the Road.” In 1979, the State of Georgia designated Ray Charles’ version the official state song.

A beautiful late October sunset colors the southern sky over Savannah, Georgia ~ one of my very favorite cities ~ as viewed from my window seat on Delta Airlines. I snapped the view with my cell phone before landing at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport in Savannah and added background texture by Jai Johnson for artistic effect.

Doe In The Summer Wind ...

“The summer wind came blowin’ in …

It lingered there so warm and fair to

walk with me …”

         ~ “Summer Wind”

          ~best known for 1966 recording

                  by Frank Sinatra

The summer wind blows and billows around a sweet white-tailed deer doe on a beautiful late June evening in summer, my most favorite of seasons, then lingers there so warm and fair to walk with her at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania in this high-contrast monochrome shot.
