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!

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.”

             ~ John Muir

                  ~ 1838 ~1914

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.
