A precious white-tailed deer fawn – a honey of a sight in spring and summer – glances back at me as if to say, “Come along with me,” before crossing the path on a beautiful June evening on the brink of summer at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

My favorite yearling ~ Buttons, as I call him ~ shows off his velvet as the eight point buck and his mama doe search for an apple I tossed them on beautiful summer evening in late July 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.

I spotted this honey of a summer sight ~ a sweet, beautiful white-tailed deer fawn ~ enjoying a beautiful August evening with its mama doe in Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

A white-tailed deer doe nurses her precious white-spotted fawn in the early afternoon of June 22, 2024 at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania. The little one must have been very hungry for the whitetails to be out and about so early in the day! It was a priceless moment to witness for me personally and as a photographer.
