Treetop Tweeters ...

“Tweedle-lee-dee-dee-dee, tweedle-lee-dee dee

Tweedle-lee-dee-dee-dee, tweedle-lee-dee dee

Tweedle-lee-dee-dee-dee, tweedle-lee-dee dee

Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet

 

He rocks in the tree tops all day long

Hoppin’ and a-boppin’ and a-singing his song

All the little birds on Jaybird Street

Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet

 

Rockin’ robin (tweet, tweet, tweet)

Rockin’ robin (tweet, tweedle-lee-dee) …”

A pair of precious American Robin nestlings in a treetop await their mother’s return with supper on a beautiful late July evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Someday these little nestlings will sing the song God made for the robins to sing … and sing beautifully!

 

The Searchers ...

“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.”

          ~ William Shakespeare

             ~ 1564 ~ 1616

My favorite yearling ~ Buttons, as I call him ~ shows off his velvet as the eight point buck and his mama doe search for an apple I tossed them on beautiful summer evening in late July 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.

On the cusp of summer, a beautiful young blue jay has it made in the shade and savors a lovely late spring morning in mid-June at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
