Dancing In The Field ...

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

                   ~ Aristotle

                     ~ 384-322 B.C.

I spotted my favorite white-tailed button buck, who I call Buttons, seemingly doing a little dance in the field in the waning days of summer. He and his twin sister and mama doe were enjoying a mid-September evening as sunset loomed in the park.

I photographed Buttons since he was a precious 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. His twin sister was always a bit more shy about posing for the camera.

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

A World Where It Was Always June ...

“I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.”

A man cycles along the Saucon Rail Trail, Hellertown, Pennsylvania on a picturesque June afternoon a few days after summer, my most favorite of seasons, has just begun and starts to grow its beauty throughout the landscape.

The gorgeous day made me think of L.M. Montgomery’s words, “I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.” I think, what a wonderful world that would be!

Those Summer Days ...

“End of spring and here she comes back

Hi hi hi hi there

Them summer days, those summer days …”

    ~ “Hot Fun in the Summertime”

       ~ Sly & The Family Stone

          ~ 1969

I spotted this beach ball nestled in the high grass of a field at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania on an early August evening, seemingly left there after a day of fun in summer, my most favorite of seasons.

Ah those summer days, if only they could last all year long!
