Nestled in the milkweed, a majestic yearling ~ a nine-point buck ~ shows off his velvet antlers as a summer twilight falls across Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, on a beautiful late July evening.

In the softness of a summer twilight, a sweet white-tailed deer doe peeks through the milkweed on a beautiful mid-July evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

My favorite button buck ~ Buttons, as I call him ~ strikes a “tongue in cheek” pose after eating an apple on a beautiful spring evening just before a late April sunset 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.
