Doe's Summer Portrait ...

“Color is descriptive. Black and white is interpretive.”

Leaves softly frame the face of my favorite white-tailed deer doe as she peeks out of the trees in this black and white portrait I shot in the late afternoon of a mid-August day 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.

Ain't Nothin' Like A Summer Day ...

“Summer afternoon – summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”

           ~ Henry James

                 ~ 1843-1916

Under the cool shade of trees in late August, a hammock I saw on a property along the Saucon Rail Trail, Hellertown, Pennsylvania paints a quintessential scene in sepia of a perfect afternoon in summer, my most favorite of seasons.

Ain’t nothin’ like a summer day!

Raptor In The Grass ...

“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”

   ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

    ~ 1803-1882

 A red-tailed hawk peers through the tall summer grass on its hunt for prey on a beautiful late August morning at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
