The Whitetails ...


“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.”

                   ~ Vincent van Gogh

                          ~1853-1890


It’s always the sweetest sight of summer to see a white-tailed fawn, and to see two together is twice the joy!



I captured this high contrast monochrome shot of brother and sister twin white-spotted fawns with their mama doe on a gorgeous early September evening in the waning summer as sunset loomed at the park.



One of the fawns I call Buttons, as I photographed him since he was a precious fawn, then a sweet button buck and then a beautiful yearling until he migrated away in January 2020. Along the way I tossed him many apples, which he loved eating. His twin sister is with him in this image, though she was always a bit more shy about posing for the camera.



It’s a true joy and blessing to me personally and as a photographer to have watched these sweet fawns grow.
