The Yearling Grows ...

“The wild animals seemed less predatory to him than people he had known.”

     ~ from “The Yearling”

    ~ published in March 1938 by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (1896-1953)

   & adapted into the Academy Award winning film of the same name in 1946

My favorite yearling ~ Buttons, as I call him ~ strikes a cute pose on a spring evening just before a mid-May sunset 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.

My favorite yearling pauses to pose on a late spring evening just before an early June sunset in the park.
