Dancing In The Field ...


“In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous.”
                   ~ Aristotle
                     ~ 384-322 B.C.
I spotted my favorite white-tailed button buck, who I call Buttons, seemingly doing a little dance in the field in the waning days of summer. He and his twin sister and mama doe were enjoying a mid-September evening as sunset loomed in the park.

I photographed Buttons 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 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.
