A Nuzzle For Mama ...

“There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.”

My favorite white-tailed deer button buck ~ Buttons, as I call him ~ gives his mama doe a sweet nuzzle under the early evening sun on beautiful late April day 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.

 

The Apple Of Their Eyes ...

“You are the sunshine of my life

That’s why I’ll always be around

You are the apple of my eye,

Forever you’ll be in my heart …”

My favorite white-tailed deer button buck – Buttons, as I call him, at left, – meets his apple at the same moment as his mama doe in mid-January at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, a site to warm the heart on a winter’s evening.

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.
