Nuzzle Under The Evening Sun ...

“When you look a wild animal in the eye, it's like catching a glimpse into the soul of nature itself.”

My favorite white-tailed deer button buck ~ Buttons, as I call him, at right ~ gets a sweet nuzzle from his twin sister under the early evening sun on beautiful late April day 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.

 

Goslings Along The Delaware Canal ...

“Sweet spring full of sweet days and roses, a box where sweets compacted lie.”

           ~ George Herbert

        ~ Welsh poet, orator & priest of the

                 Church of England

                         ~ 1593 ~ 1633

The spring sun kisses sweet Canadian Geese goslings enjoying a beautiful May afternoon on the Delaware Canal along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail).

I captured this image after starting out from the Forks of the Delaware Trailhead at Delaware Canal State Park, Easton, Pennsylvania.

The trail is positioned between the Delaware River and Delaware Canal, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978. The site possesses national significance in commemorating the history of the United States of America.

Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.

 

A Kiss For Mama ...

“There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.”

       ~ George Sand

    ~ pseudonym of Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, French novelist & memoirist

        ~ 1804-1876

It doesn’t get sweeter than this, seeing a beautiful white-tailed deer fawn and its mama doe in a tender moment a gorgeous late August evening in the park – a honey of a summer sight!
