Description
“Sacred watcher, wave thy bells!
Fair hill flower and woodland child!
Dear to me in deep green dells ~
Dearest on the mountain wild.”
~ Emily Bronte
~1818-1848
~ “To The Bluebell”
This little girl may well be thinking, “These boots were made for bluebells!” as she merrily rambles through the beguiling bluebells blooming in early April near the banks of the Swabia Creek at Lock Ridge Park and Furnace Museum, Alburtis, Pennsylvania in this candid capture. She traipsed happily but carefully as to not crush the bluebells, also called grape hyacinth.
The blooming of the multitude of Lock Ridge bluebells is a clarion call of spring in the Lehigh Valley, drawing many people to photograph and glimpse their beauty in the span of the few weeks they bloom.
Lock Ridge Park is a park built around an historic iron ore blast furnace just outside Alburtis, Pennsylvania in the Lehigh Valley. The park preserves portions of the former Lock Ridge Iron Works, which dates back to 1868. The 59-acre park was opened in August 1976.
