Description
“The good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.”
~ “The good Lord willing and the creek don’t rise” is an American slang expression implying strong intentions subject to complete frustration by uncommon but not unforeseeable events. It presumably evokes occasional and unpredictably extreme rainfall in Appalachia, that has historically isolated one rural neighborhood or another temporarily inaccessible on several or many occasions and when most folks in the mountains use this term, that is exactly what they mean.
The cold waters of the Little Lehigh Creek gently flow through Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania on an early December day, as autumn prepares to segue into winter.

Tami, the composition, detail, colors, and processing of this exquisite winter scene make me long for winter! And I love the description and folk saying of Appalachia, with the interesting mention of rural isolation. Love this! l/f
