The Yearling ...

“The wild animals seemed less predatory to him than people he had known.”

          ~ from “The Yearling”

        ~ published in March 1938 by

 Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (1896-1953) & adapted into the Academy Award winning film of the same name in 1946

My favorite yearling pauses to pose on a late spring evening just before an early June sunset in the park.

I began photographing Buttons, as I call him, as a precious white-spotted fawn, then a sweet button buck and now a beautiful yearling, tossing him many apples, which he loves eating, along the way. It’s a true joy and blessing to me personally and as a photographer to watch this white-tailed deer grow.

The June 6, 2018 edition of the Northern Berks Merchandiser remains tucked under a home’s mailbox at the end of that month on a beautiful summer afternoon in Hamburg, Pennsylvania in this high contrast monochrome capture.

The newspaper is published by The Windsor Press of Hamburg and has been family owned and independent since 1958.

Hamburg, Pennsylvania, officially founded in 1787, was named after Hamburg, Germany.
