Doe Of A Midsummer Night ...

 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.

                            ~ published 1948

Evoking a beguiling sense of mystery, the mist rises over the creek on a warm summer evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
