Fawns On A Summer Evening ...

“In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous.”

         ~ Aristotle

            ~ 384-322 B.C.

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

I captured this shot of brother and sister twin white-spotted fawns on a gorgeous early July evening the park, as sunset was looming and their mama doe stood close by.

The fawn on the left I call Buttons, as I’ve been photographing him since he was a precious fawn, then a sweet button buck and now a beautiful yearling, tossing him many apples, which he loves eating, along the way. His twin sister is with him in this image, though she is usually a bit more shy about posing for the camera.

It’s a true joy and blessing to me personally and as a photographer to watch this these sweet fawns grow.
