Buck In The Falling Snow ...

“… I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief …
For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”

           ~ “The Peace of Wild Things”
                   ~ Wendell Berry
                        ~ born 1934
         ~ American novelist, poet, environmental activist, cultural critic & farmer

A beautiful four point white-tailed deer buck strikes a majestic pose as a peaceful hush sweeps across the field as a midwinter snowfall begins cascading from the sky in this high contrast monochrome shot I captured in the park in the late afternoon of a February day.

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.

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.
