A Spoonful of Love ...

“If you want to go quickly, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.”

        ~ African Proverb

 

A beautiful white-tailed deer doe exchanges a spoonful of love nuzzling with one of her sweet white-spotted fawns during a precious moment I captured in the waning summer on an early September evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania … a honey of a summer sight!

The Fawn In August ...

 “… 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

I came into the peace of wild things when I spotted this honey of a summer sight ~ a sweet, beautiful white-tailed deer fawn ~ posing on the banks of the Saucon Creek, with its mama doe nearby, on a gorgeous early August evening along the Saucon Rail Trail in the Saucon Valley, Hellertown, Pennsylvania.

Sweet November Surprise ...

“In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous.”

   ~ Aristotle

I spotted the sweetest sight of summer – a beautiful white-tailed deer fawn – with its spots in November!

The spots on these fawns begin to fade at three to four months old, so I was very surprised to see this cutie, framed by the early evening light, on November 9, 2021 at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania. This little one must have been born a bit later than usual.

A sweet November surprise!
