Taking A Bite Out Of Winter ...

“It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.”

                    ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

                              ~ 1867-1957

My favorite white-tailed deer doe takes a bite out of winter as she enjoys eating an apple on a February evening in the park.

I’ve been blessed to photograph this doe and her fawns since 2012, and it’s a true joy to me personally and as a photographer.

Snow Painted Boughs...

“Snow provokes responses that reach right back to childhood.”

                ~ Andy Goldsworthy, OBE (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire)

                          ~ born 1956 

  British sculptor, photographer

                         & environmentalist 
I shot this evergreen with snow painted boughs on the upper plateau of Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania in mid-March, but it reminded me of the trees seen in Christmas Town in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, my most favorite of childhood Christmas specials ... and it still is!

Just Me And My Apple ...

“One touch of nature 

            makes the whole world kin.”

             ~ William Shakespeare

                         ~ 1564-1616

My favorite white-tailed deer doe pauses from eating her apple in the snow before happily finishing it on a winter’s evening in the park.

I’ve been blessed to photograph this doe and her fawns since 2012, and it’s a true joy to me personally and as a photographer.
