Summertime, And The Livin' Is Easy ...


"Summertime, and the livin' is easy ..."
                     ~ "Summertime"
      ~ composed by George Gershwin in 1934
        for the 1935 opera "Porgy & Bess" 
        ~ performed by such jazz greats as 
           Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong,
            Sarah Vaughan & Billie Holiday

It's summertime, and the livin' is easy for my favorite white-tailed deer doe as she grazes in the park on a warm, lazy and lush July evening ... quintessential summer.

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.

Honey Bunny ...



"No act of kindness, 
no matter how small,
is ever wasted."
                  ~ Aesop
                        ~ born 620 B.C., died 564 B.C.

This sweet and adorable cottontail rabbit
is a real honey bunny as it nibbles on some
green grass as a June twilight approaches
at Trexler Memorial Park, 
Allentown, Pennsylvania.

that knows poems by heart."

The Eyes Of Love ...


Beautiful white-tailed deer doe casts a watchful, loving
eye on her fawn. Someday this sweet fawn will be
a proud buck, but on this late summer evening in
the park he was happy grazing with his mother.

I've been blessed to photograph this doe and
her fawns for more than two years, and it's a 
real joy!

Here We Come ...


"Here we come ... we're the young generation,
and we've got something to say ..."

Sunday In The Country ...


"Do not let Sunday be taken from you. 
If your soul has no Sunday, it becomes
an orphan."
                        ~ Albert Schweitzer
                                                    1875-1965

I saw this rural scene on an early summer Sunday
afternoon from the Ironton Rail Trail, which loops more than
nine miles through Whitehall Township, the Borough of Coplay and
North Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania.
The corridor was originally home to the
Ironton Railroad 1860-1984.

will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories." 
                       ~ Sarah McLaughlin, 1995

This dandelion puff on a May evening 
at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania
brought to mind that wonderful song.

How Sweet It Is ...


Beautiful white-tailed deer doe looks blissful
grazing on a May evening in the park. I've been blessed to
photograph her and her fawns for two years, always wonderful 
to see. It's an amazing feeling to me when she sees me,
recognizes me and walks over like an old friend!
