My favorite yearling ~ Buttons, as I call him ~ shows off his velvet as the eight point buck enjoys a beautiful summer evening in August at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
I began photographing Buttons as a precious white-spotted 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. It’s a true joy and blessing to me personally and as a photographer to have watched this white-tailed deer grow.
