Spun Gold ...

“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.”

           ~ Jim Bishop

Autumn has spun its golden beauty in the towering trees that reach for the bright morning sky on a beautiful mid-October day at Upper Saucon Township Community Park, Upper Saucon Township, Pennsylvania. Dedicated in 1996, the park covers approximately 50 acres and includes nearly two miles of walking/jogging trails that segue into the Saucon Rail Trail.

Dream Of A Mad Orange Sunset ...

 

“Meanwhile the sunsets are mad orange fools raging in the gloom....”

 ~ Jack Kerouac

 ~ 1922-1969

 It’s a mad orange sunset as a summer sundown creates silhouetted beauty as it sweeps across Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania in this abstract image I captured on a beautiful late August evening.

In The Cosmos ...

“Many eyes go through the meadow, but few see the flowers in it.”

       ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

         ~ 1803 ~ 1882

 

The Cosmos Field at St. Luke’s Hospital, Anderson Campus, Easton, Pennsylvania brightens a late August afternoon when the sun often dipped behind the clouds.

 

Cosmos, with their colorful, daisy-like blooms, are related to sunflowers and daisies.

 

The cosmos flowering season lasts for several months, running from early summer until the first frosts arrive in the fall. The season usually lasts from June to October.

 

St. Luke’s also has a Sunflower Garden that is part of the cheery landscape of blooms.
