Buttons Wears His Velvet ...

“Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way.”

My favorite yearling ~ Buttons, as I call him ~ shows off his velvet as the eight point buck enjoys a beautiful summer evening in August 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.

Whitetails Of A Summer Twilight ...

“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.”

          ~ Vincent van Gogh

             ~1853 ~ 1890

It’s always the sweetest sight of summer to see a white-tailed fawn, and to see two together is twice the joy!

I captured this shot of twin white-spotted fawns with their mama doe as a summer twilight falls across Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania on a beautiful late July evening.

Tongue In Cheek ...

My favorite button buck ~ Buttons, as I call him ~ strikes a “tongue in cheek” pose after eating an apple on a beautiful spring evening just before a late April sunset 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.
