Description
“Orange is the happiest color.”
~ Frank Sinatra
~ 1915 ~ 1998
“Orange is my color ~ and it’s the happiest color!” thinks this gorgeous monarch butterfly ~ still beautiful even with a torn wing ~ as it alights on a lovely mid-August afternoon near an orange reflector on the grounds of Kreidersville Covered Bridge, Allen Township, on the outskirts of Northampton, Pennsylvania.
Monarch butterflies are one of the most recognizable species of butterflies in North America. They are widely known for their incredible migratory pattern. They travel between 1,200 and 2,800 miles or more to their overwintering spots in Mexico and Southern California from the northern United States and Canada.
Known for its bright orange colors and its incredible annual migration, the migratory monarch butterfly is now classified as “Endangered” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Hopefully they will be saved from extinction! The world would indeed be bluer without these beautiful butterflies.
Kreidersville Covered Bridge was built in 1839 and is loved for its great history and tranquil setting by the Hokendauqua Creek. It is the only covered bridge left in Northampton County.
The pedestrian-only bridge that crosses the Hokendauqua Creek is the oldest covered bridge in the Lehigh Valley and one of the oldest in the state. The historic wooden Burr Truss Bridge has a 116-foot-long span and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
