Doe Of A Midsummer Night ...

“If we can teach people about wildlife, they will be touched. Share my wildlife with me. Because humans want to save what they love.”

 My favorite white-tailed deer doe pauses from grazing as she watches me walk up the hill to give her an apple – or two! – on a beautiful July evening in the park.

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.

Summer Velvet ...

“The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.”

                 ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

                                 ~ 1749-1842

The afternoon light dances on the velvet antlers of this majestic yearling on an August day at Lehigh Parkway, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

I was happily surprised to see this young white-tailed deer buck so early in the day, as he posed for a few photos before continuing to follow a beautiful doe down the summer path.

Red Fox In The Late Summer Grass ...

“The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you.

And I shall love to listen to 

the wind in the wheat …”

                                ~ The Little Prince

                        ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupery

                                                ~ 1900-1944

 A beautiful red fox peers through the high grass of late summer on a September evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
